Fly Away -- John Denver

All of her days have gone soft and cloudy All of her dreams have gone dry
All of her nights have gone sad and shady She's getting ready to fly
Fly away, fly away, fly away.

Life in the city can make you crazy For sounds of the sand and the sea
Life in a high-rise can make you hungry For things that you can't even see
Fly away, fly away, fly away.

In this whole world there's nobody as lonely as she
There's nowhere to go and there's nowhere That she'd rather be.
She's looking for lovers and children playing She's looking for signs of the spring  She listens for laughter and sounds of dancing
She listens for any old things  Fly away, fly away, fly away. 


This was one of Denver's bigger hits when his career was at his peak. It's a song about loneliness and the longing to escape from it, which is what the title refers to.
