The Way I Love You - Linda Thompson

I wish that you were here

Running round my heels

Only you and I know

How this lonely feels

I never fell in love

The way that I love you

But father, brother, sons

Too much for any man to do

So you fly and you fly, fly away

So you fly and you fly, fly away

I’d keep you with me still

Even though I know

Nothing’s worth the holding

If you can’t let go

I spend my nights alone

Or in drunken company

That’s the only medicine

That’s left for me

Till I fly, till I fly, fly away

Till I fly, till I fly, fly away

I need to have something

That money cannot buy

But even children know

That only angels fly

All these wasted years

I never have been sure

When to ask for less

And when to beg for more

Will I fly, will I fly, fly away?

Will I fly, will I fly, fly away?

I’ll fly away

I’ll fly away
