I cannot fly yet

I CANNOT FLY YET (E A D G B E, capo 1)

I feel the water rising. I cannot jump in.

I see the bird in the tree. I cannot fly yet.

I cannot remember why I thought what I did.

And why I couldn’t what I can now.

 

I see the moon so full. I can almost taste it.

I want to punch holes in the roof and make tiny pools.

For the stars to swim. I want to let them in.

They can almost see me. I cannot be late.

They can almost see me. I want to let them in.

 

I see the moon so full. I can almost taste it.

I see the bird in the tree. I cannot fly yet.

I cannot fly yet. They can almost see me.

I want to let them in.
