Long May You Fly

Please push the HQ button!

Tied to the sky
By only a string
A tenuous tether
On a featherless wing
Floating on air
Trying my worth
Hovering there
Between heaven and earth

The dream it keeps coming
Of kites in the wind
We're running with tight strings
The sticks bow and bend
Tails unfurled and flapping
We're circling again
Until in an instant
Our kites catch the wind.

Long may you fly and soft may you fall
High may you soar o'er this spinning blue ball
Long may you fly and soft may you fall
High may you soar before hearing night's call

And when the wind takes it
my kite seeks the sky
Straight up toward heaven it
Sails sure and high
Run Buddy faster
I think we can fly
I'm coming with you
We can if we try
Run Buddy faster
I think we can fly

Long may you fly and soft may you fall
High may you soar o'er this spinning blue ball
Long may you fly and soft may you fall
High may you soar before hearing night's call

Really good song. In the good old country style that I like so much. And I like how your voice sounds.

But why don't you record a video of yourself instead of pictures? (though that pictures is beautiful too)

@LychkovIA Thank you Ivan! Well, I guess I am a bit camera shy! I peek in every once in a while. There I am at the end of this one....just for a moment! ;) Very glad to hear that you enjoyed my song! NAncy
