Oh Do Not Fly Away - The Innocence Mission

I’ll wait to ring the bells awhile

Till all the light and color

Have stayed the whole of spring

Until I believe it

And if, and if I count on you

Oh do not fly away

I dare not count on you

It is too early to say

Oh can you tell me of the future

If something is the matter?

I am afraid to look

Down the road much further

And if, and if I count on you

Oh do not fly away

I dare not count on you

It is too early to say

All through the dog paths and hazel

In every place I’ve entered

I’ve looked for you to come

Years ago or sooner

And if, and if I count on you

Oh do not fly away

I dare not count on you

It is too early to say
