Lyrics
She Said She'd Like To Fly
Just beneath her sadness
That place where hope and fear
Becomes a still life painting
That's hidden by veneer
On her own once and again
She said she'd like to fly
Too fast for third, too slow for fourth
Too clear to see the light
Chorus: And the earth will turn, and the ink will dry
And sweetness in the shadows
Will get her by. Will get her by.
Baby go, but take good care
You don't really want to fall
Perhaps you'll find that light
That runaway port-o-call
I know the moment has to come
When you open another door
Will it be that elusive light
Happiness on a distant shore
And the earth will turn, and the ink will dry
And sweetness in the shadows
Will get her by. Will get her by.
And the earth will turn, and the ink will dry
And comfort of the darkness
Will get her by. Will get her by.
And the earth will turn, and that ink will dry
Some sweetness in the shadows
Will get her by. Will get her by.
