Go Fly, Baby Lyrics

What were you doing, where have you gone now, honey
The kids have been crying for you, how 'bout you call somebody
Come in and crash the funeral, horrify us with poor taste jokes
I wish you could see your mother, she barely could stand but still she spoke, and she said:

Goodbye, baby, goodbye, bye baby
Go fly, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby

I'll go to the water someday, sail through a night of navy blue
Yell at the sky, 'you missed it, how the church was packed to the brim for you'
I think if you could you'd take it back,
I see you in every kid I pass
On the street
A crushing disbelief when a young boy goes this way
Nobody, nobody is ready to say
That this is:

Goodbye baby, goodbye, bye baby
Go fly, baby
Goodbye
Bye, baby

We could've talked down on the dock, you were the lifeblood of your mom
How could you think you wouldn't be missed
There is life after loneliness
That's what I'd say
But I'm too late

Tears hit the lake

Goodbye, baby, goodbye, bye baby
Go fly, baby, goodbye
Bye, baby
Goodbye, baby, goodbye, bye baby
Go fly, baby, goodbye
