Lyrics:
She touched the scars upon his body Traced the veins beneath his skin It felt so right to leave him sleeping Yet her head began to spin And when she left, she left no letter What you don't say no one hears She shut the door on empty voices On regret and wasted years She saw the moon over Milford Haven Stars in a flaming sky She stepped out into the sunrise And she found that she could fly And when she felt her wings unfold All the tales that she'd been told And the heavy shoes and the band of gold Fell away like melting snow She crossed the naked spine of England While the sun was at its height Solway Sands and Kielder Water Far below her left and right And somewhere north of Tobermory They say her path began to climb She was heading for Newfoundland And she might be gone some time She saw the moon over Milford Haven Stars over Plymouth Sound She flew as high as heaven And she said, I won't come down And when she felt her wings unfold All the tales that she'd been told And the heavy shoes and the band of gold Fell away like melting snow She saw the moon over Milford Haven Stars in a flaming sky She stepped out into the sunrise And she found that she could fly She could fly
