| 1 | Went back home to the farm | |
| 2 | Past the place we used to live | |
| 3 | Your garden was all overgrown | |
| 4 | You gave it all you had to give | |
| 5 | With your feet firm on the ground | |
| 6 | You gave it your best try | |
| 7 |
And I can't stop flying |
|
| 8 | You stood there on the lawn | |
| 9 | Worrying up at me | |
| 10 | I was high in the breeze | |
| 11 | At the top of our maple tree | |
| 12 | Was it longing in your frown | |
| 13 | Though you said I'd climbed too high | |
| 14 |
And I can't stop flying |
|
| 15 | You papered our rooms with | |
| 16 | Pictures of our escape roads | |
| 17 | With stories of your childhood dreams | |
| 18 |
And appearances on radio shows |
|
| 19 | Now we talk on the phone | |
| 20 | It really comes as no surprise | |
| 21 | You say I'm the dramatic one | |
| 22 | But I know you're just a flyer in disguise | |
| 23 | And you ask me for the truth | |
| 24 | As if a bird could tell you why | |
| 25 |
I can't stop flying |
|
| 26 | You papered our rooms with | |
| 27 | Pictures of our escape roads | |
| 28 | With stories of your girlhood dreams | |
| 29 |
And appearances on radio shows |
|
| 30 | Went back home to the farm | |
| 31 |
And I can't stop flying |
