Expecting to Fly (Live) [02/27/71 Royal Festival Hall, London] Songtext
von Neil Young

There you stood on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin′ that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years we′d spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.


I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found,
Knowin' it was gone.
If I never lived without you,
Now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you,
Now you know I′d try,
Babe, now you know I′d try.
Babe, now you know I'd try,
Babe.
