Won't say I love you, babe Won't say I need you, babe But I'm gonna' get you, babe And I will not do you wrong Living's mostly wasting time And I waste my share of mine But it never feels too good So let's don't take too long Well, you're soft as glass and I'm a gentle man We got the sky to talk about And the world to lie upon Days up and down they come Like rain on a conga drum Forget most, remember some Oh, but don't turn none away Everything is not enough Nothing is too much to bear Where you've been is good and gone All you keep is the getting there Well, to live's to fly, all low and high So shake the dust off of your wings And the sleep out of your eyes It's goodbye to all my friends It's time to leave again Here's to all the poetry And the picking' down the line I'll miss the system here The bottom's low and the treble�s clear But it don't pay to think too much On things you leave behind Well, I may be gone, but it won't be long I'll be bringing back the melody And the rhythm that I find We all got holes to fill Them holes are all that's real Some fall on you like a storm Sometimes you dig your own The choice is yours to make Time is yours to take Some dive into the sea Some toil upon the stone Well, to live's to fly awe low and high So shake the dust off of your wings And the sleep out of your eye Oh, shake the dust off of your wings And the tears out of your eye
