TO LIVE IS TO FLY
BY
Townes Van Zandt
As performed by Guy Clark on the
Old Friends CD
Submitted by David Byboth (davidb@efficient.com
FDays up and Cdown they come Flike Rain on a Cconga drum
CForget most, reGmember some but Fdon't turn none Caway
FEverything is Cnot enough &aFmp; nothin' is Ctoo much to bear
CWhere you've been is Ggood and gone all youF keep is the gettin' Cthere
CHORUS:
To FLive Is To CFly Both Flow and Ghigh
So Cshake the dust off Gof your broken wings
And the Fsleep out of you Ceyes
Good-by to all my friends it's time to go again
Just think about the poetry and the pickin' down the line
I'll miss the system here the bottom's low and the treble's clear
But it don't pay to think too much on the things you leave behind
CHORUS
We all got holes to fill & them holes are all that's real
Some fall on you like a storm sometimes you dig your own
The choice is yours to make, time is yours to take
Some sail upon the sea some toil upon the stone
FINAL CHORUS:
To Live Is To Fly Both low and high
So shake the dust off of your broken wings
And the sleep out of you eyes
Shake the dust off of your wings
And the tears out of your eyes...
