The Boy Who Flew Away

I'm standing staring at my feet

I can feel the eyes on me

Is that the boy who flew away

I wonder, is he free

I wonder, is he free

One will courage a handshake and smile

And say 'oh boy, it's been a while'

Cheeks will turn, my ears will burn

I'll say 'oh boy, it's been a while'

I'll say 'oh boy, it's been a while'

Maybe flying was never my plan

To leave and return an older man

Have you ever thought

You pushed me away

I'm home now, with no place to stay

I'm home now, with no place to stay

Luke talks about lost and found

Maybe he meant found and lost

On Sunday eve, we'll kill a calf

And deal with the family frost

And deal with the family frost

Luck will fall and ice will thaw

For the boy who drew the long straw

Bridges mend, and time is your friend

And home now will be Lán le Grá

And home now will be Lán le Grá

Maybe flying was never my plan

To leave and return an older man

Have you ever thought

You pushed me away

I'm home now, with no place to stay

I'm home now, with no place to stay

I'm standing staring at my feet

I can feel the eyes on me

I'm the boy who flew away

The boy who's no longer free
