From the recording <br>Fly
About someone I grew up with.
This song doesn't sport any of the intricate finger-picking that David Wilcox is known for, nor does it use the exotic alternate tunings and capo configurations he often uses. But David's music was the inspiration for its writing. So there it is.
Lyrics
Fly
In his world of balsa wood
beats a heart misunderstood
Dreams of the expanse above
searching for a drop of love
Looking high and finding none
only cruel rejection
Mend your wings and fly
Fly
Mend your wings and fly
The sky is only waiting for you to fly
Fly
Fly
Mend your wings and fly
The sky is only waiting for you to fly
Skating high beyond the plane
emotionless, forgets the pain
No one knows what’s in his heart
so he soars a world apart
Taste the beauty freedom brings
but he won’t cut the apron strings
Mend your wings and fly
Fly
Mend your wings and fly
The sky is only waiting for you to fly
Fly
Fly
Mend your wings and fly
The sky is only waiting for you to fly
Take a page from the book of dreams
hobby shops and magazines
Heal the heart inside the boy
find the love to fill the void
In his world of balsa wood
beats a heart misunderstood
Mend your wings and fly
Fly
Mend your wings and fly
The sky is only waiting for you to fly
Fly
Fly
Mend your wings and fly
The sky is only waiting for you to fly
Fly
Mend your wings and fly
The sky is only waiting for you to fly
Fly
Fly
Mend your wings and fly
The sky is only waiting for you to fly
Fly
Mend you wings and fly
The sky is only waiting for you to fly
