lyrics

I'm in the middle of my life, got a crisis and a wife
In a car that goes too fast I am living in the past
Running wild like a little child not a man.
Party like I'm back in school breaking every kind of rule
I took a walk the other day down the shore of Galway Bay
And what do I find, my peace of mind there.
So fly me to freedom, you can try me for treason
cuz I've been unfair to my man up there for so long
And it hurts to think so, but I've got to go where I belong
I belong long gone, I 'm going
Just like a shepherd of the sea
See what the ocean brings to me
But do I mean it when I say that I could leave it all today
To come and live here with my soul?
Fly me to freedom... I'm going
I found my gospel in the winds that blow
Up on the clifftops where the heather grows
I'd been waiting for the sun to rise
bUt I'd been looking eastward with western eyes
Fly me to freedom... I'm going
Just a thought before I leave, what of you and what of me?
Do I mean it when I say that I could leave it all today?
Such is the price of living your life.
