From the recording Fly Away Some Time the Remix
“Fly Away Some Time” is a dreamscape about flying away from the cares of the world with one’s love.
It was in the dead of winter in North America and Ed was dreaming of flying away to a tropical paradise. Out of that dream came “Fly Away Some Time”. First released as a nearly live acoustic single on the out print “The Real Deal”, it has become a staple on Ed’s live shows.
Ed brought back his his virtual band Podunk to make this track more like what he was hearing in his head when he wrote it quite a while ago. This electrified version has lots of electric twelve string jangle and a much stronger rhythm section. This remixed version has a much better feel.
Lyrics
Fly Away Some Time
1.
Wouldn’t you like just to fly away,
Away from all your cares,
Break through these clouds,
To the sunlit sky that’s there,
Out of the reach of these earthbound storms,
And trouble far below,
Wouldn’t you like,
Just to fly away some time,
2.
Sun settin’ West to make room for the stars,
In a purple evening sky,
Moon shining down on the sea,
Catches your eye,
On through the night as we turn into dreams,
Like all we ever were,
Wouldn’t you like,
Just to fly away some time,
Middle 8:
Flyin’ in my dreams,
Dreamin’ about you,
Wishin’ we were one,
Knowin’ we are two.
