A folky number written in February. It needed something - that's where uber-maistro arglebargle (Adam Kirby) came in - his orchestration and production gives this song its shine.

Story behind the song

What was originally a song inspired by birds and their ability to "fly away" from danger became something different. Lyrically, you may find you can relate a bit - we all have times when we want to "fly away".

Lyrics

Verse 1
Close our eyes – if we can’t touch the sky is it real?
Close our minds – our fears and mistrust to conceal
None alone to be forced by the cold winds of change
Our desires to reveal

Chorus
Fly away
Things we will hide – or bury inside
Fly away
Only our hearts can decide – (where we will fly)

Verse 2
Our desire – like a bird on the wing to be free
Free to fly to escape to the sky when there’s no guarantee
Sometimes seems we are shackled, imprisoned by life
And no one holds the key

Now we are told to go on
We’ll fight the good fight and the dark to dispell
When all our endurance is gone
Who’ll remember the place where we fell? 

Verse 3
I believe there is something invisible here
And we’re wrong to pretend that our wishes can make it appear
All this time something’s holding us back
But there’s nothing as strong as our fear
