When I Fly

from God & The Girl by David Poe

lyrics

WHEN I FLY
By David Poe

WHEN I FLY, WHEN I FLY
WHEN I FLY THIS WORLD
PUT A ROSE UPON MY GRAVE
AND FORGET ABOUT ME GIRL

WHEN I'M GONE, WHEN I'M GONE
WHEN I LEAVE YOU BEHIND
DRINK THE WHISKEY AND THE WINE
AND GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE

WHEN I GO, WHEN I GO
WHEN MY HOME IS FAR ABOVE
THROW A STONE INTO THE SEA
AND GO FIND ANOTHER LOVE

BUT I WILL WATCH, I WILL WATCH
I WILL WATCH YOU FROM ON HIGH 
FROM THE CITY IN THE SKY
EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT

AND I WILL WAIT, I WILL WAIT
OUTSIDE THE HEAVENS' GATE
WAIT TO SING AND CELEBRATE 
AT THE HOUR YOU MEET YOUR FATE

WHEN YOU FLY, WHEN YOU FLY,
WHEN YOU LOSE YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE
I WILL BE THERE AT YOUR SIDE
WE WILL WALK INTO THE LIGHT
