Flying Away

[Kevin Walsh]

Well, folks, it's been a rough year with not much room or inclination for music. I've finally decided that good times or bad, music is essential so I got to work and wrote this. My hearing has degraded a bit more, so I'm quite dependent on the folks here to help me get the sounds right, so thank you in advance for any feedback you can provide.

And here it is, Flying Away.

Thanks!

flying away
k. walsh 4/13/2025

verse 1

breakin down 
seems like forever

and when the day came round 
she kicked the door down
that stood in her way

holding on
waiting forever
and when the ring came her way
she grabbed that thing with both hands and she held on

chorus 

she had a name
and it rang like silver

and she would always
smile when she promised
me that she would be gone

she was ashamed
tears flow like a 
river of pain

and she would always cry
while the world was
coming down around her

yeah she would be 

flying away 
flying away

verse 2

running down
i be lost forever
and when i finally broke down
and she took my hand like
the queen of the world that she was

for such a long time
she thought she could see forever
and when she finally called
me well i had nothing but
i gave her every single thing 
that i had to give

she had a name
and it rang like silver

and she would always
smile when she promised
me that she would be gone

she was ashamed
tears flow like a 
river of pain

and she would always cry
while the world was
coming down around her

yeah she would be 

flying away 
flying away

I thought was real good Kevin.
Loved the groove in this one.

Well done.

we all paint different pictures and I would personally  would use a little less verb.

Kevin , your hearing may have degraded some , but your voice sure hasn't !    Great job on the vocals. I love the way you hold notes out without using much vibrato. Very nice guitar tone as well . I thought it fit nicely.   Enjoyed it .     ms
