Lyrics for Fly

The way that sunlight flits across your skirt, Makes me feel I'm from another world, To touch your face in the morning light. I hope you're always gonna be around. The times I struggle to understand why, The ancient proverbs like Who am I? Why am I here and What have I done? I see the answer's place my trust in you Trust in you love, be with me then, That's when I want you, that's when I need you the most. I want us to be like Peter Pan But dreams it seems are weightless as sand, And man's supposedly is made of sand It seems that man cannot survive at all Let's disappear love, let's fly away Into the demi-monde, into the twilight zone The times inside I spent screaming at you Release me please from this mortal jail One shrug or smile can determine my fate, I'm lost for days and have myself to blame Something I'm giving, is yours for the taking, Something like sunlight, Love is a spotlight Love is all sorrow, still I'll meet you tomorrow And look forward to see you, now I can't live without you
