Poncho Green - Fly Away Lyrics

Oh hello there, little blue bird
Sing the sweetest song I've ever heard
Take your time, no need to hurry
I'll be here, please don't worry so

Actually I need to say goodbye
I'm sorry but I cannot waste your time
Moment's here to move on
I can't be laying here too long

Sign me up, I've heard the call
I'm waking up at the crack of dawn
Tie your boots up, young greenhorn
Turns out war ain't half-bad after all

Never thought I'd see the front lines
Nobody told me this was what it's like
Maybe I'll just run away
And live to fight another day

I'll shoot myself in the foot to
Get away from all the bullshit
No way only cowards run
From napalm bombs and Browning guns

Oh hello there, little blue birds
Sing the sweetest songs I've ever heard
What is this camaraderie
It's not the same, I'm so sorry

Dunno what you've heard but it ain't true
Yes I'm seeing someone and it's you
But I don't know if I can take
This kind of selfish heartache

So I'll keep calm and soldier on
Plenty more where that came from
Come on boys, stay in line
We'll be home in no time

Fly away now little blue birds
Go away before you cause more hurt
Wait, no, won't you stay a while
Save me from this rank and file world

Marching on this bloody muddy ground
Countless thousands lying face down
Insatiable, insufferable
Now why do I feel laughable

All these voices in my head say
Don't be lazy, don't forget mate
Got no guts, you'll get no glory
Don't you want a hero's story

No I don't need metal dreams
Leave me with the birds and trees
I'm staying home in bed
I'm never joining up again
Maybe when I'm dead
Maybe when I'm dead
Maybe when I'm dead
Maybe when I'm dead
