Текст песни Take to the Sky (Janis Ian) с переводом

Blue sky morning, red sky night

Sailor take warning

When the eagle takes flight

If I had wings I would delight

And fly away

Black cloud riding

On the cotton fields back home

Every man’s an island

In the desert of his soul

Take to the sky

— there's nowhere else to go —

And fly away

I can rememer all the days of my life

Cold, dark september

When the eagle took flight

I had to stay

I had to stay

I cried a river to the empty sky

Someone deliver me by and by

I’ll fly away, Il’ll fly away

It don’t take nothing to be lonely

It comes too easy to be holy

It does nothing for the soul

But tear holes in tomorrow

Somebody somebody said I don’t want

To be nobody saidI don’t want to see

Nobody said I don’t want to need nobody said nothing at all

Sitting and waiting for the axe to fall

Sun come raining, lighten up the day

I ain’t complaining

I got nothing to say

I’ll fly away, I’ll fly away

If I had the courage to be flying blind

I’d fly too high to buy my way home

Somebody wants somebody

To be lonely and nobody

Settling only for love-

How much time can you borrow?

Making it easy to lie

Faking it on the sly

Shaking and stammering

Taking it up to the sky

Hammering nails in tomorrow

Sun come raining lighten up the sky

I ain’t complaining

I get no reply

I’ll fly away, I’ll fly away

When I get the courage to be flying blind

I’ll fly to high to buy my way home
