Lyrics for Night Flyer (with Delia Bell)

The window is open, so why don't you fly? Could it be you have lost all the yearning to try? Your cage is a prison, they've kept you so long But wings are for flying and the throat for a song So, fly like an eagle and land like a dove Go find all the places, you must have dreamed of Fly away with your troubles, and drop them somewhere And if you're only dreaming, I don't really care They won't even miss you, or ask where you've been They'll feed you and listen, for a song, now and then Fly over the mountain, and come back to me And tell in your song, what it's like, to be free So, fly like an eagle, and land like a dove Go find all the places, you must have dreamed of Fly away with your trouble,s and drop them somewhere And if you're only dreaming, I don't really care God gave us the places, to labor and strive But if living ain't nothing, but staying alive Then give me the dying, if that's what you found Don't sing on my grave, or drop flowers, on the ground For I'll fly like and eagle, and land like a dove I'll find all the places, that I have dreamed of Fly away with my troubles, and drop them somewhere And if I'm only dreaming, I don't really care And if I'm only dreaming, I don't really care
