lyrics

I wish that I could fly away,
Hold my head up high
But something’s always in the way,
These brambles catch me when I try
These brambles catch me when I….

’Cause you are the rock that holds me so -
Close I will stay, so you can go

Catching stars is still the aim
I need to learn to take the blame
‘Cause you and I are both the same
We breathe and live and play the game
We breathe and live and play the game

’Cause you are the rock that holds me so -
Close I will stay, so you can go
’Cause you are the rock that holds me so -
Close I will stay, so you can go

Slowly, slowly, easy now
No need to worry, when you’re in doubt

Slowly, so slowly, close your eyes
No need to hurry, when you’re in disguise
