Fly By Night

Words and music by geddy lee and neil peart

(original first stanza)

Airport scurry flurry faces

Parade of passers by

People going many places

With a smile or just a sigh

Waiting waiting pass the time

Another cigarette

Get in line - gate thirty-nine

The time is not here yet (end)

Why try? i know why

The feeling inside me says it's time i was gone

Clear head, new life ahead

I want to be king now not just one more pawn

Fly by night, away from here

Change my life again

Fly by night goodbye my dear

My ship isn't coming and i just can't pretend

Moon rise, thoughtful eyes

Staring back at me from the window beside

No fright or hindsight

Leaving behind that empty feeling inside

Start a new chapter

Find what i'm after

It's changing every day

The change of a season

Is enough of a reason

To want to get away

Quiet and pensive

My thoughts apprehensive

The hours drift away

Leaving my homeland

Playing a lone hand

My life begins today
