EXPECTING TO FLY
A Em D
There you stood on the edge of your feather,
E
expecting to fly.

While I laughed, I wondered whether
D E A
I could wave goodbye,
D G
Knowin’ that you’d gone.

By the summer it was healing,
G C
we had said goodbye.
Am7 D7
All the years we’d spent with feeling
G C
ended with a cry,
Cmaj7 C
Babe, ended with a cry,
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 A
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,
Cmaj7 G
Babe.
