 (, , )  x 2
Stone  by the river got no wind  in my sail
No  revolutions in my soul
Hey  revelations just a moment away
 Soon I’m gonna be old
 Soon you are gonna be old
Remember  love is not something  you can keep
It  just takes the wind to blow it away
You  look so ugly as you lie  there asleep
 Boy you’re pretty today
 So pretty today
  When I was born  the poisoned my mind
  They told me to fight  but I’m not that kind
  They said I was meek  but I did not mind
  It’s a case of the weak  leaving me blind
I  see the stars have spelt your name  in the sky
I  wrote it too down here on the sand
When  I first met you, you stirred nothing  at  all
 See the cards in your hand,  see the cards in your hand
Oh  If I could fly
 I say Oh  If I could fly,  and don’t you know  that If I could fly
 I’d take to the sky
I  feel so special when I’m making  you cry
I  regret the things I throw in your face
  I do
This  drug will kill you darling this  is no lie
 This Dragon we chase
 This Dragon we chase
  When I was born  the poisoned my mind
  They told me to fight  but I’m not that kind
  They said I was meek  but I did not mind
  It’s a case of the weak  fooling me blind
Oh  If I could fly
 I say Oh  If I could fly,  and don’t you know  that If I could fly
 I’d take to the sky
Oh  If I could fly
 I say Oh  If I could fly,  and don’t you know  that If I could fly
 I’d take to the sky
