Fly By Night - Rush

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

This feeling inside me says it’s time I was gone

Clear head, new life ahead

It’s time I was 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

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, whoa!

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

Start a new chapter, find what I’m after

It’s changing every day

The change of a season’s 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

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

My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend

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

My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend

My ship isn’t coming and I just can’t pretend
