about

Fly Away originally appeared on the album Thirteen Songs About Love. This acoustic version was never available until now.

Here are the notes I wrote in my diary during those original recordings circa 2003.

I had this friend who once told me about how her boyfriend was mistreating her. I remember encouraging her to move out from the place they lived in together. She admitted that she knew she had to leave, but she was having difficulty getting up the courage. You need to fly away from there, far away, I said.

I suggested she should at least get out of the house for the day and go do something fun like go to the beach—something to soothe her soul. "How am I supposed to go anywhere? My car broke down, too." I asked her, Why not fly?

lyrics

It's time to fly away from here;
it's time to fly away my dear.
Look into the sky, and how it's missing you!
It's time to fly away my dear.

So fly so far away, take your love away!

Can you go—can you go—
go so far away?
Can anyone ever go away?
As far as they dream?
As far as far away seems?
Can anyone ever go away?
I don't know...

So fly so far away, take your love away!
