Riding out on hayfields
Dust was rising
The air was clear
Pick up truck on a flat horizon
Something's blown away

Searching for my story
Up the road and back in time
Something there my uncle showed me
Left there in the ground
Took me back but I can't see
Where the farmhouse used to be
Where it's gone I do not know
Something's blown away

Chorus
And He said
Goodbye
Fly fly away from here
Fare thee well
To Walking in these dreams
Goodbye
To All the things he left behind
I'm sorry for my leaving
I wanted you know
I'm sorry for my leaving
But he wanted me to go

Making pictures in my mind
What he might have left behind
Colors that he painted there
Are moving through my life
Heavy sledge, icy road
Horse and cutter deep in snow
But where the farm house use to be
Foundations rest on memories...

Chorus
Goodbye
Fly fly away from here
Fare thee well
To Walking in these dreams
Goodbye
To all the things he left behind
I'm sorry for my leaving
I wanted you know
I'm sorry for my leaving
But he wanted me to go

Well the sheds are gone
Plows are rust
Thrashings through
The crops are dust
Where a swing hung from a tree
Weeds and holes and the cows run free....

Chorus
Goodbye
Fly fly away from here
Fare thee well to
Walking in these dreams
Goodbye
Fly fly away from here
Fare thee well to
To walking in these dreams
Goodbye
To all the things he left behind
I'm Sorry for leaving
I wanted you know
I'm sorry for my leaving
But he wanted me to go
I'm sorry for my leaving
But he wanted me to go

And he said fly fly away
And he said fly fly away
And he said fly fly away
