This song deals with the tragedy of severe depression and suicide.
Fly Away Written By Billy Simons © 2009 I tiptoed ‘cross the ledge today Hoping for a voice to say I’d really like for you to stick around I like the sound Of someone wanting me to stay I wish the voices in my head would fly away Fly away Fly away I never thought that I would see A stranger reaching out to me So when he did I thought it was a game I was ashamed He had to see me in this way And if I could I would’ve turned and flown away Flown away Flown away In a state of deep regret Before my mind had firmly set I hurled myself into the crowd below I didn’t know How far my thoughts had gone astray They left the nest before the rest had flown away Flown away Flown away I’m not sure what I should do My veins are cold, my face is blue An angel waits to take me by the hand I cannot stand To end my life in such a way I want to spread my wings and simply fly away Fly away Fly away I tiptoed ‘cross the ledge today Hoping for a voice to say I’d really like for you to stick around I like the sound Of someone wanting me to stay I wish the voices in my head would fly away Fly away Fly away Fly away
