If I Could Only Fly

(album: Seashores Of Old Mexico - 1987)

I almost felt you touching me just now
I wish I knew which way to turn and go
I feel so good and then I feel so bad
I wonder what I ought to do

If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you
But I can hardly stand, I got nowhere to run
Another sinking sun, one more lonely night

The wind keeps blowing somewhere everyday
Tell me things get better somewhere up the way
Just dismal thinking on a dismal day
Sad songs for us to bare

If I could only fly, if I could only fly
If I could only fly then I would be with you

You know sometimes I write happy songs
Then some little thing goes wrong
And I wish they all could make you smile
Coming home soon and I want to stay
Maybe we can somehow get away
I wish you could come with me when I go again

If I could only fly, if I could only fly
I'd bid this place goodbye to come and be with you
And I can hardly stand, I got no where to run
Another sinking sun and one more lonely night

If I could only fly, if you could only fly
If we could only fly there'd be no more lonely nights
