I Used to Fly

Praise poisoned the soil

Severed the roots

To songs that will go unheard

Flightless bird

Cold, cold is the wind

Barren the land

She's fertile and ready

And the sun can't help

But follow her

As you pass me by

Watch you catch the light

And i was wondering if you might

Safe, safer than sound

Pass on the torch

Now she gets to walk through these cavernous grounds

Congrats

Oh their love will keep her warm

But just for a while

They'll move on

As you pass me by

Watch you catch the light

And i was wondering if you might

Remind me of the times

(I used to fly)

Love in decline

Passing me by

Caught in the light

I used to fly

Unleash the fire

Never deny

Your own desire

You'll pay the price

Love in decline

Passing me by

Caught in the light

I used to fly

Unleash the fire

Never deny

Your own desire

You'll pay the price

Love in decline

Passing me by

Caught in the lie

I used to fly
