Fly Away
Tattle Tale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I wish I could fly away like a bird soaring high
Like a bird soaring high
I wish I could cry but the tears don't come out of my eyes
I wish I could cry but the tears don't come out of my eyes

Will you hold my hand, will you hold my hand
And don't let go, don't let go
Will you hold my hand, will you hold my hand
And hold on tight, hold on tight
I see the blood that the earth is losing
And it's pouring over me
I don't wanna play in this red blood rainy day
I don't wanna play in your red blood rainy day

We keep stealing
We keep feeding
We keep breeding
We keep stealing
We keep feeding
We keep breeding
I don't wanna play in your red blood rainy day anymore

Will you hold my hand, will you hold my hand
And don't let go, don't let go
Will you hold my hand, will you hold my hand
And hold on tight, hold on tight

Sometimes I wish I could fly away like a bird soaring high
Like a bird soaring high




I wish I could cry but the tears don't come out of my eyes
I wish I could cry but the tears don't come out of my eyes

Heard this off a compilation a friend had in the 90’s, we listened to that cd hundreds of times. Grew up, and got old and boring, but over the years have had this in my head. So glad to have been reunited with it, still love it just as much and am sharing it with my old friend now😊😭
