They Always Fly Away

Dm Do you want to follow me indoors A If the elevator be my floor Dm There's a lonely blackbird on the telephone wire C He's there most days Dm If we don't have time for everything A Let's at least sit quietly with him Dm G A Just long enough to notice when he flies away because he always flies away Dm And tomorrow everything will change A That's what all our teachers used to say Dm C We don't need to wonder if the rows on our face will turn to grey Dm But since we know the movements of the stars A We know exactly where we are Dm G And we'll be together when the leaves are acting strange A We'll watch them fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm There's a mountain underneath the clouds A There's a heaven underneath us now Dm C Can you make out the diamonds on the edge of the sea from where you lay Dm There's a blackbird sitting on a line A And we're all here navigating time Dm G Let's watch him long enough until he flies away... A They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away Dm They always fly away
