Jars Of Clay Album: The White Elephant Sessions Track: Fly Farther
Fly Farther Lyrics
He picked her up some flowers on a sunday afternoon They sat out on the porch swing underneath the crescent moon A lifetime seemed to pass Staring at the skies And on the swing he gave her the ring There were tears in her eyes
I said I pray I'm not alone in my dreams about forever That you and I could become one and always be together We'd grow old and wise through all the days For worse or for better And I'll be true beside of you Even now more than ever
And my time flies, but we'll fly farther Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother All our dreams of together Uneclipsed by never, never My time flies; it's in your eyes But we'll fly farther
Fifty years have ridden off into the sunset And the tears that we have cried have overflown And here we are, counting scars Wounds of life's unending upset You're with me and I'm with you And I will never forget
And my time flies, but we'll fly farther Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother All our dreams of together Uneclipsed by never, never My time flies; it's in your eyes But we'll fly farther
He picked her up some flowers on a sunday afternoon He rode the greyhound bus past the house they used to swoon He knelt beside the grave, hung his head, a teardrop fell And on the stone, an epitaph shown The words he knew so well
And my time flies, but we'll fly farther Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother All our dreams of together Uneclipsed by never, never My time flies; it's in your eyes But we'll fly farther
My time flies, but we'll fly farther Into the night where the eyes of loneliness can never bother All our dreams of together Uneclipsed by never, never My time flies; it's in your eyes But we'll fly farther
We'll fly farther We'll fly farther
