To Live Is To Fly by Townes Van Zandt

Verse 1

  Won't say  I love you, babe
  Won't say I  need you, babe
A7 
  But I'm gonna'  get you, babe
 
  And I  will not do you  wrong

Verse 2

  Living's mostly  wasting time
  And I waste my  share of mine
A7 
  But it never  feels too good
 
  So  let's don't take too  long

Chorus

  A7 
  Well, you're  soft as  glass and I'm a  gentle  man
  A7 
  We   got the sky to  talk about
 
  And the  world to lie  upon

(Guitar break)

Verse

Days up and down they come
Like rain on a conga drum
Forget most, remember some
Oh, but don't turn none away

Verse

Everything is not enough
Nothing is too much to bear
Where you've been is good and gone
All you keep is the getting there

Chorus

Well, to live's to fly awe low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And a sleap out of your eyes

Verse

It's goodbye to all my friends
It's time to leave again
Here's to all the poetry
And the pickin' down the line

Verse

I'll miss the system here
The bottom's low and the trebble's clear
But it don't pay to think too much
On things you leave behind

Chorus

Well, I may be gone, awe, I won't be long
I'll be bringing back the melody
And the rhythm that I find

Verse

We all got holes to fill
And them holes are all that's real
Some fall on you like a storm
Sometimes you dig your own

Verse

The choice is yours to make
Time is yours to take
Some dive into the sea
Some toil upon the stone

Chorus

Well, to live's to fly awe low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eye
Awe, shake the dust off of your wings
And the tears out of your eye
