Lyrics
Fly By Night
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.
It's hard to say I'm sorry.
May we just forget about today.
You see, I fly by night.
I fly by night.
I laid my love beside the door
and left you sleeping on the floor.
So long. I fly by night.
I fly by night.
And 'though you might think it's too bad of me
I have to leave you with used memories.
I have no stomach for the dawn.
I feel I should be moving on
and so I fly by night.
Now lady luck's deserted me.
The ghosts of love stand clear to see.
They also fly by night.
Strange figures in the dark.
Did Cupid strike and leave his mark?
It seems his arrows fly by night.
They fly by night.
Let's fly.
