My brother Dezhi has been talking about buying the first album by Corrine May for sometime. Have finally gotten around to buying it.
Fly Away is the first song in the album and is the song which evokes the greatest feelings within me. From the first time I have heard it and listened closely to the lyrics of the song, I have been greatly touched by it, so much so that I teared by the time I finished hearing the song.
Would have uploaded the song hear if I only knew how, hope if there's a chance, you'll can go listen to it and see if you're just as touched as I am...

When will you be home?" she asks
as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as I crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
Silver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying
"We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried
You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away
