Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Fly On Home

You climbed on the train

The window rolled on

So did the tear

And seeing you cry

Was like the very first time, when we parted

In the dews and dusty streets.

There alone, I felt the station on my feet

Fly home

And away on down the line

You put your face into the wind

Let your tears fly home.

I trod on my way

Past the silly girlie who looked at my shoes

Climbing the street

The evening shuddered in my coat

And I looked where I had been.

The train a snake

A chain of people on the rails

Fly home

Like a nourishing breath of sunshine

Twinkle of the houses

Let your tears fly home

Put your face into the wind

Little girlie, let your tears fly home

Let your tears fly home.
