Fly By Night lyrics

Why try? I know why

The feeling inside me says it's time I was gone

Clear head, new life ahead

It's time I was king now

Not just one more pawn

[Chorus:]

Fly by night, away from here

Change my life again

Fly by night, goodbye my dear

My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend

Moon rise, thoughtful eyes

Staring back at me from the window beside

No fright or hindsight

Leaving behind that empty feeling inside

[Chorus]

Start a new chapter

Find what I'm after

It's changing every day

The change of a season

Is enough of a reason

To want to get away

Quiet and pensive

My thoughts apprehensive

The hours drift away

Leaving my homeland

Playing a lone hand

My life begins today

[Chorus]
