Fly By Night/In The Mood Lyrics By Rush

    prologue
    airport scurry flurry faces
    parade of passers by
    people going many places
    with a smile or just a sigh
    waiting waiting pass the time
    another cigarette
    get in line gate thirtynine
    the time is not here yet

    why try i know why
    the feeling inside me says it’s time i was gone
    clear head new life ahead
    i want to be king now not just one more pawn

    fly by night away from here
    change my life again
    fly by night goodbye my dear
    my ship isn’t coming and i just can’t pretend

    moon rise thoughtful eyes
    staring back at me from the window beside
    no fright or hindsight
    leaving behind that empty feeling inside

    start a new chapter
    find what i’m after
    it’s changing every day
    the change of a season
    is enough of a reason
    to want to get away

    the other part
    quiet and pensive
    my thoughts apprehensive
    the hours drift away
    leaving my homeland
    playing a lone hand
    my life begins today
