Still Cannot Fly Lyrics

We wrote our name rocks, right there on the desert sand

Then we tumbled down the dunes, then we tried to stand

There are two birds up above us, circles in the sky

We are still living and we still cannot fly

We cannot fly oh lord, we cannot fly

No hallelujah, no by and by

We cannot fly oh lord, we cannot fly

Without the hallelujah, without the by and by

We said our names out loud and talked into the phone

Then waited on the wires to prove we're not alone

In the space that's in between us, I smiled at your reply

You said, "we are still living and we still cannot fly"

We cannot fly oh lord, we cannot fly

No hallelujah, no by and by

We cannot fly oh lord, we cannot fly

Without the hallelujah, without the by and by

My friend here is from Arkansas, his wife is from Duluth

I remember him from long ago, I knew him in my youth

It's a kite upon a string, in the middle of July

We are still living and we still cannot fly

We cannot fly oh lord, we cannot fly

No hallelujah, no by and by

We cannot fly oh lord, we cannot fly

Without the hallelujah, without the by and by

We slept beside the canyon, it's a night of falling stars

The wind is blowing hard, coming home from the bars

We blew our names with smoke rings, no matter how we try

We are still living and we still cannot fly

We cannot fly oh lord, we cannot fly

No hallelujah, no by and by

We cannot fly oh lord, we cannot fly

Without the hallelujah, without the by and by
