If I Could Fly Away
Frank Duval Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could fly away - if I could change my ways
If I could fly away - could fly back to eternity
I'd take you on my wings
I'd carry you right there
Where everything begins
Back to the origin of our destiny
And we find love again.
If I could fly away - could fly back to eternity
If I could fly away -
In the dawn of a rising day
To the border of space
Where the beginning and the end
Is written on your face.
Nothing more to say
We just want to stay




'cause we have love again -
If I could fly away.

Фантастическая музыка, удивительно полнозвучная, с завораживающим ритмом. Я в ней просто растворяюсь.

Валерій Іщенко

Высокопрофессионально. Комментарий искусствоведческого уровня. Глубоко личное, без излишних истерик, восклицаний и пафоса. Браво!

I bought the album "if i could fly away" when I was 16 years old I am now 50 and still thought it was a good song. When I listen to the song, my thoughts flow away from my body, the song has been a great help to me through difficult days in my life - so thank you so much for composing IT ❤️🇧🇻

Thomas Fleischer

@Frank Duval You are welcome, Sven.
I've watched a lot "Derrick " and "Der Alte " during the last month and I defended Frank several times against malevolent postings.
Many of his songs got such deep emotions and unfortunately many people don't understand it.
However, my opinion will never change!
