Mama never cared much 'bout dreams or love
She said it reminded her of my Daddy
My Daddy
He loved to fly
He'd say

"Death will come fast
I wanna be free
And closer to the sky
Love grows cold
Lonely and tired
On the wings of angels
I want to fly"

Daddy's just the blood in my veins
Shadows in my mind
As I'd watch my Mama drown in her tears
He'd say
"I can't promise you love
And I can't promise you me"
In my heart of hearts
I yearn to fly

And death will come fast
I wanna be free
And closer to sky
Love grows cold
Lonely and tired
On the wings of angels
I want to fly
I want to fly
I yearn to fly

And death will come fast
Death will come fast
I yearn to fly
