Flying, I thought I'd never learn that flying
I thought I'd spend my whole life trying
For flying is that ancient art of keeping one foot on the ground
ย
Lying, I thought I'd never keep from lying
I thought I'd lose it all by sighing
ย
For lying is that ancient art of hiding words that will never be found
ย
Crying, I thought I'd never stop that crying
I thought I'd always dream of dying
For crying is that ancient art of weeping rivers into the ground
ย
Oh dying, I thought I'd never see that dying
ย
I thought I'd spend my whole life flying
For dying is that ancient art of keeping one world turning round
ย
Sighing, I thought I'd never keep from sighing
ย
I thought I'd always be there crying
For sighing is that ancient art of breathing sadness all around
ย
And trying, I thought I'd spend my seasons trying
ย
I thought I could stop myself from lying
ย
For trying is that ancient art of proving that the world is round
ย
Oh flying, oh-oh
Lying, oh-oh
Crying, oh-oh
Sighing, oh-oh
Trying, oh-oh
And dying, oh-oh
For dying is that ancient art of growing flowers in the ground
Yes, it is
