about

You've probably all experienced some form of this... I wanted to write a song to gently encourage a brighter future, or in the sad moments, to provide a safe space for a friend going through hardship. Ironically they've never heard it before, and maybe they never will. Or maybe its purpose is now for someone who you know that is struggling. Recorded on one microphone at my mums council house in Wales.

lyrics

Jealousy could take her
Like a message in the sand
Her wings of grace have saved her from Satan’s upper hand
Love has lost it’s fragrance
And the taste it bit her back
Now she’s riding waves of patience
Never knowing where she’ll land

Singing ooo
Fly away oh beauty
Fly away straight to me
I’ve got
time for
The pain that’s on your mind girl I swear
I’m glad to be your friend.

Bitter seems the cadence
When music’s all she has
But grace it is her nature
She’ll find another man

Singing ooo
Fly away oh beauty
Fly away straight to me
I’ve got
time for
The pain that’s on your mind girl I swear
I’m glad to be your friend.

And all those moments they made
Are memories saved away
We store them ‘cause what else are we to do?
Hide battle scars with make up
And fake with all the rest
Oh the best of us keep bluffing our life through

Singing
Singing
Fly away oh beauty
Fly away straight to me
I’ve got time for the pain that’s on your mind girl I swear,
I’m there
(I’m there) Hmm hmm
Singing
Fly away oh beauty
Fly away straight to me
I’ve got time for
the pain that’s on your mind girl
And I heard you could use a friend.
