FLY OFF WITH THE WIND
(Kathy Smith)


Kathy Smith - 1971



Here together we are brothers
Seeking satisfaction
Each one says he loves all others
I don't see much action
I am broken here upon this foreign shore
I have spoken here, but I won't break anymore
I'm gonna fly off with the wind
And not remember where I've been

Women and their men playin' at pretend
Hide and seek, peek and tell
Throw the girlfriend down the well
I have had my fill of all this grown-up pain
Don't talk to me
I will not play these grown-up games
Just let me fly off with the wind
And not remember where I've been

Ev'rybody's s'posed to be so groovy and so wise
Know your brother, love each other
Don't look in anybody's eyes
Honesty is callin' me, I can't refuse
I love my friends, I feel for them
I'm makin' these blues
Just let me fly off with the wind
And not remember where I've been

Knowing we are growing here forever
Should be enough to bring us all together
God made me a lady, but I'm His child first
We can all be children of the Universe
And then we'll fly off with the wind
And not remember where we've been
We're bound to fly off with the wind
And not remember where we've been

I remember how you told me that 
We are all angels and we've got a job to do
Before we fly off with the wind
We won't remember where we've been
We're bound to fly, fly-y-y-y-y-y-y
Ashes to ashes, flight tonight
Ashes to ashes, flight tonight
Flight tonight, flight tonight
