I can still remember 
Every song you played
Long ago when we were younger 
And we'd rock the night away
How could I see your future then 
Where you would not grow old
With such a fire in our bellies
Such a hunger in our souls.

I guess I probably loved you 
When those words rolled off your tongue
It seemed that we were travelin'
Under some ol' lucky sun

I know I couldn't save you 
And no one was to blame
But the road we shared together once 
Will never be the same

Hey, hey gonna fly away
Won't be coming round today
Hey, hey with a song I pray
And on the wings of a song I'll fly away.

I wandered in the wilderness 
For a while I was so lost
To everything there is a season 
And every blessing has it's cost
So I took what you left me 
And put it to some use
Went looking for an answer 
With those three cords and the truth

I come down from the mountain 
I come walkin' in your shoes
I was taken for a gambler 
When I had no more to lose

'Cause you put me on that pathway 
How could I refuse?
And I spend my whole life out here 
Workin' on the blues

So I carried on. 
You can't be haunted by the past.
People come and people go. 
And nothing ever lasts.
But I still think about you 
Wonder where you are
Can you see me from some place 
Up there among the stars

But down here under heaven 
There never was a chart
To guide our way across 
This crooked highway of the heart
And if it's only all about 
The journey in the end
On that road I'm glad I came to know 
My old friend.

Hey
Gone away
Won't be coming round again
Hey
With a song I pray
And on the wings of a song 
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
I'll fly away
