How to Fly

As you sit on the edge of our favorite abyss tonight, fireworks burst
and your eyes let me know I'm done up with fright
Your arms remind me I can't help but to hold you tight
These foregone dreams and vague summer passions fill the air
And I smell but I can't taste, and I can't see, I can only hear
But I know that whistle's gonna blow, they all say it's nothin to fear
But you see I always loved walkin through town round midnight
Always loved the smell of rain when it hit the pavement
Brings me back to when the air told me just what life meant
Take a minute breathe it in, oh breathe it in, breathe it in
forget your thoughts of love and sin
Close your eyes, see silhouettes against a deeply orange sky
streaks a purple and wind blowin through the wheat, wild silent nights go by and by
just by and by
everybody's lonely, runnin together, solitude ain't serenity
One of ya, just you take my hand, tell ya I ever had wings
Someone I used to know said I couldn't sing
They told me about sacrifice and innocence
Said he'd tell me my future -and my past-for just a few cents
Forget it, ohh hey fly with me, the world doesn't have to turn just yet
Abandon all your form, it can't so hard I bet
There's just oh so many lights beyond ourselves
Born across the edge of a stormy sea
They all melt and mix, can't catch rain in the right place
I think it falls against an old oak tree
But here's to you, and here's to me
Let loose, fall in follow me, close your eyes, release my hand just to know your free

Dude, I loved this man. Such elegant flow and nice word plays!
