Neil Young
Expecting to Fly (Live at the Cellar Door 1970)
[Verse 1]
There you stood on the edge of your feather
Expecting to fly
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye
Knowin' that you'd gone

[Bridge 1]
By the summer it was healing
We had said goodbye
All the years we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry
Babe, ended with a cry
Babe, ended with a cry

[Verse 2]
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found
Knowin' it was gone

[Bridge 2]
If I ever lived without you
Now you know I'd die
If I ever said I loved you
Now you know I'd try
Babe, now you know I'd try
Babe, now you know I'd try
Babe
