Take to the Sky [Live] Lyrics – Janis Ian
Singer: Janis Ian
Title: Take to the Sky [Live]
Blue sky morning
Red sky night
Sailor take warning
When the eagle takes flight
If I had wings I would delight and fly away
Black cloud riding
On the cotton fields back home
Every man’s an island
In the desert of his soul
Take to the sky—there’s nowhere else to go—and fly away
I can remember all the days of my life
Cold, dark September when the eagle took flight
I had to stay
I had to stay
I cried a river to the empty sky
Someone deliver me by and by
I’ll fly away
I’ll fly away
It don’t take nothing to be lonely
It comes too easy to be holy
And it does nothing for the soul
But tear holes in tomorrow
Somebody, somebody said, “I don’t want to be”
Nobody said, “I don’t want to see”
Nobody said, “I don’t want to need”
Nobody said nothing at all
Sitting and waiting for the axe to fall
Sun come raining, lighten up the day
I ain’t complaining, I got nothing to say
I’ll fly away
I’ll fly away
If I had the courage to be flying blind
I’d fly too high to buy my way home
Somebody wants somebody
To be lonely and nobody
Settling only for love—
How much time can you borrow?
Making it easy to lie
Faking it on the sly
Shaking and stammering, taking it up to the sky
Hammering nails in tomorrow
Sun come raining lighten up the sky
I ain’t complaining, I get no reply
I’ll fly away
I’ll fly away
When I get the courage to be flying blind
I’ll fly to high to buy my way home
On guitars Mr. David Wolfert
On the fender bass, Mr. Stu Woods
On the drums, Mr. Barry Lazarowitz
And on second vocals and percussion, Miss Claire Bay
