Guy Clark - To Live Is to Fly [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Won't say I love you babe?
Won't say I need you babe?
But, I'm going to get you babe
And I will not do you wrong
Livings mostly wasting time
I waste my share of mine
But it never feels too good
So let's don't take too long
You're soft as glass
And I'm a gentle man
We got the sky to talk about
And the world to lie upon
Days up and down, they come
Like rain on a conga drum
Forget most, remember some
But don't turn none away
Everything is not enough
Nothing is to much to bear
Where you been is good and gone
All you keep is the getting there

[Chorus]
To live is to fly
Low and high
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the sleep out of your eyes

[Verse 2]
It's goodbye to all my friends
It's time to go again
Think on all the poetry
And the picking down the line
I'll miss the system here
The bottom's low and the treble's clear
But it don't pay to think to much
On things you leave behind
I may be gone
But it won't be long
I will be a-bringing back the melody
And the rhythm that I find
We all got holes to fill
Them holes are all that's real
Some fall on you like a storm
Sometimes you dig your own
But choice is yours to make
And time is yours to take
Some dive into the sea
Some toil upon the stone

[Chorus]

[Outro]
So shake the dust off of your wings
And the tears out of your eyes
