Expecting to Fly

There you stood
On the edge of your feather
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed
I wondered whether
I should wave goodbye
Knowing that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing
We had said goodbye.
All the years
We'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry
Babe ended with a cry
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled
And fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found
Knowing it was gone.
If I never lived without you
Now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you
Now you know I'd try
Babe now you know I'd try.
Babe now you know I'd try
Babe.
