lyrics

I can't stay
I've got to leave this place right now
And I can't say
Where I'm going to be
But someday

I'll see you there
And its not really that far
But I can't come to visit
I'm sorry I can't stay
I really wish that

I wouldn't have to fly away
On wings that I can't fasten
To you, to your heart stuck on
That earth I haven't time on
Anymore

Not just now
I won't be leaving just quite yet
And though the time will go fast
I need you not to cry

Although I wish
My wings would not grow strong
I could tumble back to your arms
That would wait until the sun fades

And I wish I couldn't fly away
On wings that I can't fasten
To you, to your heart stuck on
That earth I haven't time on
Anymore

I wouldn't strain a single word
That I don't need to scream aloud
It's so crazy I would want to leave
This world in any doubt
That I will miss you
I will miss you

And I wish I wouldn't fly away
On wings that I can't fasten
To you, to your heart stuck on
This earth I haven't time on

And I wish I wouldn't fly away
On wings that I can't fasten
To you, to your heart stuck on
This earth I haven't time on
anymore
