along the crowded roads of ruin

among the throngs of old cliches

a gentle bird of grace and beauty

came down to sing a sweet refrain

won't you fly away with me?

won't you fly away with me?

she circled over through the evening

as we traveled sorrow bound

and offered up her wings for using

but we could not lift off the ground

won't you fly away with me?

won't you fly away with me?

cause nothing here ever changes

 it's the same old thing everyday

don't you know little birdy

 you're the only one worth your wait

some people search every corner

to find the place where they belong

many fall back out of order

many more go down alone

so, won't you fly away with me?

don't you fly away from me

cause all the leaves on the street are blowin 'round and the sky is gray

and if you leave, I believe we'd all just wither and fade away
