Carrington MacDuffie Fly Away lyrics

Over the trees, the trees with the waving branches
I'm going over the hills and the growing grasses
Over the sand skimming over the white sand
I'm flying over the running woman running beside her man
Why are they running running
When I am flying flying

I'm gonna fly up while the world burns and sings
I'm gonna fly away, away from things
Right at the break of day, I'm flying up
I'm gonna fly away

I'm up in the clouds, I'm swimming up here in the blue skies
and all the colors are lifting up out of the sunrise
Over the waves leaping in the blue ocean
It's all in perpetual motion
And I'm just a figment of someone's
imagination

High heels slip off my feet and they fall to the ground
It's such a long way down

Money flies up and away, I let it go
for the world down below

I'm gonna fly up while the world burns and sings
I'm gonna fly away, away from things
Right at the break of day, I'm flying up
I'm gonna fly away

I'm over the trains and boats and bikes and cars and trucks
I'm up with the planes, the shopkeepers are looking up at me
And the sky is opening up and I'm slipping right through
to the stars rushing up above me in the black beyond the blue
I've never been up this high
The world is waving goodbye

I'm gonna fly up while the world burns and sings
I'm gonna fly away, away from things
Right at the break of day, I'm flying up
I'm gonna fly away
