Nightfly

I laugh, I cry, I run free, I lay down and die.
Love, depression, rejection, I cry
She left me, they left me, I tried.

What the hell said I as I jumped up from where I died.
I don't need them, they didn't need me, I'll run a way and hide.
My body laid there as I floated above it quite high.

I turned and left from where I floated with a grieving sigh.
And with a new found freedom flew out into the night sky.
So I left asking myself only "Why, why, why?"

How long and where I flew no one could say for sure.
For days and for miles as if I was lured.
Somehow I new where I was going I was assured.

I lost all sense of time as my journey became dreamlike.
I flew amongst the clouds in the eerie moonlight.
Traveling towards an unknown destination not yet in sight.
