Lyrics
A Good Flying Bird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Many years we spent unpressured
That we knew so swell
Love in times of simple pleasures
Only time would tell
Oh, this is not to say
We are not the way we used to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We were not so fond of reason
Everyone could tell
Even times we'd start to stumble
But never ever fell
Oh, this is not to say
We were not the worst we've ever been
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fools and kings decide
Ways to live your life
This is just the way we want to be
