Too High to Fly

Dokken

We sold our sons and we sold our daughters 
Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers 
We took the gold, but the gold was water 
I tried to save the world, but I failed her 

She cries the tears that I never left her 
I left them all behind 
You were sitting in your darkest hour 
Summer's gone 

We tried to make the world so much better 
We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter 
You sit alone in your ivory towers 
I'm just one person, I don't matter 

You tap the needle, and you went to heaven 
You left it all behind 
Now you're feeling oh so better 

Too high to fly 
You should've seen me there (Yeah) 
Too high to fly, my baby 
But you were almost there 

The sun shines down on my face 
But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no) 
The lines on the street, and the some rises 
You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby 

Another morning sun 
Another day gone by 
The storm's coming 
With the pouring rain 

Too high to fly 
You should've seen me there (Yeah) 
Too high to fly, my baby 
But you were almost there 

The storm comes with the pouring rain (Salvation) 
The lines in the street, and the smoke rises 
Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it 

Too high to fly 
You should've seen me there (Yeah) 
Too high to fly, my baby 
But you were almost there
