Oh Do Not Fly Away

The Innocence Mission

I wait to ring the bell so…??
Turn off the light and color
I've stayed the whole of Spring
Until I believe it

And if.  And if I count on you
Oh do not fly away
I dare not count on you
It is too early to say

Oh can you tell me of the future
If something is the matter
I am afraid to look
Down there or much further

And if.  And if I count on you
Oh do not fly away
I dare not count on you
It is too early to say

Oh through the dark paths
And the hazel
Though every place I've entered
I've looked for you to come
Yes I know….??

And if.  And if I count on you
Oh do not fly away
I dare not count on you
It is too early to say
