lyrics

The day you fell in love with him
You stroked his hair and every limb
Studied his sweet eyes from where you lay
You handed him a piece of rope
To tie onto your heart and hope
He’d never ever to rip that piece away

But fly away, love, if you must
Fly away, love, if you may
I just hope you know inside
That I’ll hold you down and I’ll hold you tight
‘Cause all I really want’s for you to stay
Please, don’t stay away
Please, don’t stay away

You told me, oh, some time ago
That you couldn’t bear when he grew old
He’d leave you all alone with all your fears
I told you not to think of it
That you were here and he was with
And that day wouldn’t come for many years

But fly away, love, if you must
Fly away, love, if you may
I just hope you know inside
That I’ll hold you down and I’ll hold you tight
‘Cause all I really want’s for you to stay
Please, don’t stay away
Please, don’t stay away

But for the moment he hasn’t gone
He’s still here to gaze upon
He doesn’t want to go as much as you
And even if he slips away
His loving soul will sit and stay
Your god of love will make his namesake true

But fly away, love, if you must
Fly away, love, if you may
I just hope you know inside
That I’ll hold you down and I’ll hold you tight
‘Cause all I really want’s for you to stay
Please, don’t stay away
Please, don’t stay away
