why try, i know why
this 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
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
start a new chapter
i find what I'm after
is changing every day
the change of a season
is enough of a reason
to want to get away
quiet and pensive
my thoughts apprehensive
the hours drift away
leaving my homeland
playing a lone hand
my life begins today
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
