Expecting to Fly (2017 Remaster)

by Buffalo Springfield

Lyrics
There you stood on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin' that you'd gone.

By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.

I tried so hard to stand as I stumbled
and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled

And reached for the love I found,
Knowin' it was gone.

If I ever lived without you,
Now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you,
Now you know I'd try,
Babe, now you know I'd try.
Babe, now you know I'd try,
Babe.
