Lyrics Barenaked Ladies – Flying Dreams
Text:
If you could walk, if you could talk
Where would you go, what would you say to me?
I love the sound of you movin’ around
Laughin’ and dreamin’ next to me
But I’ll never know what you see
I hope it’s a flying dream
Over fields, houses and hills
Over hospitals, shopping malls and ravines
Over walls, transcending it all
Love finds itself right where it longs to be
And I’ll never know what you see
I hope it’s a flying dream
You center me, you help me to see
What is important and what I should just let be
To blow away on garbage day
With candy rappers and cigarette packages
Through the dark days, the hard careens
Longing for flying dreams
There’s no more leaves, the raindrops freeze
And glisten like teardrops in the the trees
Sink or swim, still sinking in
I’ve been swimming deep in the blues these days
Ever since fate intervened
And took away my flying dreams
Flying dreams
Flying dreams
