Too High To Fly

We sold our sons and we sold our daughters
Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers
We took the gold but the gold was water
I tried to save the world but I've failed her
She dried the tears that I never left her
I left them all behind
You were sitting in your darkest hour
Oh - Summer's gone
We tried to make the world so much better
We sent our words in a pretty perfumed letter
You sit alone in your ivory towers
I'm just one person, I don't matter
You tapped the needle and you went to heaven
You left it all behind
Now you're feeling oh so better
Ohhh
Too high to fly
You should have seen me there
Too high to fly my baby
But you were almost there
Sun shines down on my face
But you don't feel a thing, no, no, no
The line's on the street and the smoke rises
You looked to long for heaven, now you're blinded
Another morning sun, another day gone by
woah-oh
The storm's coming with the pouring rain
Oh-oh-oh-ohh oh-oh-ohh
Too high to fly
You should have seen me there, yeah, yeah, yeah
Too high to fly oh baby
But you were almost there
Too high to fly
You should have seen me there
Too high to fly oh baby
You were almost there
Line's on the street and the smoke rises
wandering round for 40 days, I hope you find it
You couldn't get any higher
But you were higher than me
You couldn't get any higher
No, no, no
Too high to fly
You should have seen me there oh baby
Too high to fly
You were almost there
Too high to fly
You should have seen me there
You should have seen me there
Tap the needle...
It won't take you there
It's not salvation
All this way
Yeah
