BOY GEORGE - If I Could Fly lyrics

If I Could Fly

Stone by the river, got no wind in my sail

No revolutions in my soul

Hey, revelation's just a moment away

Soon I'm gonna be old, soon you're 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 they 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 the blind

I see the stars have spelt your name in the sky

I wrote it too down here in the sand

When I first met you, you stirred nothing at all

See the cards in your hand, see the cards in your hand

And Oh if I could fly

I said oh if I could fly

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

But 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 they 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 the blind

And Oh if I could fly

I said oh if I could fly

Don't you know that if I could fly

I'd take to the sky

And Oh if I could fly

I said oh if I could fly

Don't you know that if I could fly

I'd take to the sky, yes I would
