Fly Away

This has got to be one of my fave songs as well... a friend introduced her to me and i've loved the album ever since. She's Corrinne May, a Singaporean artist based in the States. I'm sure this song is especially melancholic for those of us studying abroad. A mother bids goodbye to her daughter, while the daughter in turns bids farewell to her beloved mum. Such a sad song.

Fly Away

"When will you be home?" she asks
as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as i crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me

You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be prayin every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

Autumn leaves fell into spring time and SIlver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying "We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried

You can fly so high Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be prayin every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away ohh...
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
