A Way

[Verse 1]
Piece of stone
Piece of loam
Piece of foam from waves-o
Living, living
Live and quick
To nick the prince of knaves-o
The blue-green eggs
Lay in the nest
A nest of wattles made-o
Two lay still
Two hatched at will
And one had flown away-o

[Chorus]
Fly away
Where is away?
Way beyond the dreams today
Never wish
For what you wish
You just might wish away-o

[Verse 2]
Riddle me this
Riddle me that
A needle in the hay-o
The girl I love
In the window above
Will you come out to play-o?
But while she watchеd
Another hatched
And she bеgan to cry-o
I've big strong wings
I've learned to sing
But I have not learned to fly-o

[Chorus]
Fly away
Where is away?
Way beyond the dreams today
Never wish
For what you wish
You just might wish away-o

[Verse 3]
Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Does anybody care-o?
Jack be slow
And everyone knows
Why Johnny's too long at the fair-o
There's none who'll die
For a woman twice
And once is no proof of love-o
The blue-green eyes
Lay in disguise
And life is long enough-o

[Chorus]
To fly away
Where is away?
Way beyond the dreams today
Never wish
For what you wish
You just might wish away-o
Fly away
Where is away?
Way beyond the dreams today
Never wish
For what you wish
You just might wish away-o
