Fly Away

Fly Away
If I
Could be
Anything at all
I would
Step out
Of myself
And I’d never call
I would fly
Away
I would fly
Away
I would fly
Away
Into your arms
If trees
Had wings
Wouldn’t they be grand
I would
step out
On the edge
Of the highest branch
I would fly
Away
I would fly
Away
I would fly
Away
Into your arms
If I
Could live
Even for a day
Without my head
Saying all
Those things
I would fly
Away
I would fly
Away
I would fly
Away
Into your arms

Falling Down
02:36
|

|
See the pretty leaves
up above the hill
when the weather changes
they come falling down
falling down
And when Spring is gone
and there's nothing left
just the sound of insects
beating wings to death
They come
falling down
falling down
So you live your life
Just like everyone
You don't look tomorrow only
staring in the sun
You go
Falling down
falling down
falling down
falling down

If It Feels Good
03:00

If it feels good do it
and don't worry
If it feels good do it
and don't care.
Haven't you spent long enough
in the shadow of yourself?
If it feels good do it
and don't worry
Don't you think
it's time
that I kissed you?
Don't you think
it's time
our lips said "hello?"
What's the use in having lips
if your lips never kiss
If it feels good
do it
and don't worry
You can live your life
alone
Fighting every thought
Fighting every thought
Fighting every thought
That comes your way
or
If it feels good
do it
And don’t worry
You can think
About it
When you’re dead
Haven’t you spent
Long enough
Longing for someone
If it feels good
Do it
And don’t worry
don’t worry
don’t worry

Summer

Summer
Summer’s coming
And I feel the rain
Summer
Summer’s coming
Better get yourself a flower
Before it’s too late
And why are all the flowers
Dying in June
And why do we all treat each other
The way that we do
Summer
Summer’s coming
And I feel the rain
Summer
Summer’s coming
Better put your hair up
Before it blows away
And why are all the faces crying
All of the time
And when is someone somewhere
Gonna listen to the faces
When they cry
When they cry
Summer
Summer’s coming
And I feel the rain
Summer
Summer’s coming
And there’s nothing I can do
To change a thing
But feel the rain
Feel the rain
Feel the rain
Feel the rain

Ferry

Ferry left the lights on
Ferry left the lights on
Let them burn
Ferry left the lights on
Ferry left the lights on
in his home
back in Texas
while his mother watched t.v.
and his sister
ate herself to death
Ferry left the lights on
Ferry left the lights on
No one knew
Ferry left the lights on
Ferry left the lights on
Wouldn't you
Always running
from one room to room
Always hoping
someone would see
But no one could see anything
Don't you live your life
a sad boy
Turn the light off
you're a bad boy
That's what they said
as he walked down the hall
Always running
from one room to room
Always hoping
someone would see
But no one could
see anything

My Own
04:52
|
|||
|
I feel your blood run
through my veins
I pray to God
we're not the same
But everyday I come to know
My mother, myself, my own
You taught me how to be afraid
I wasn't born this way
This isn't something
I'll outgrow
My mother, myself, my own
When I was five
you took my hand
I didn't know or understand
You broke my collar bone
My mother, myself, my own
At seventeen,
I moved away
Three thousand miles
to L.A.
Why did I get a telephone?
My mother, myself, my own
Instrumental
I feel your blood
run through my veins
I pray to God
we're not the same
But everyday I come to know
My mother, myself, my own
But everyday I come to know
My mother, myself, my own
My mother, myself, my own
My mother, myself, my own
My mother, myself, my own
Why do you hate me so?
My mother, myself, my own

Don't want no one to come today
I want them all to go away
And leave me here I'm working
Leave me here I'm working
The cow is moo-ing in the yard
The chicken tells me life is hard
He laid another egg
he laid another egg
What's the point in giving
all your cigarettes away
What's the point in hoping
you can find a better way
When the only one who's listening to anything
is deaf
instrumental
The clock is ticking on the wall
What day it is I can't recall
All the leaves are yellow
All the leaves are yellow
What's the point in giving
all your cigarettes away
What's the point in hoping
you can find a better way
When the only one who's listening to anything
is deaf

Happy
05:50

|
You say you want me to be happy
You say you want me to be happy
all the time
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
how to do that
You tell me that I should be happy
You tell me that I should be happy
as a cloud
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
how to do that
how to do that
how to do that
and I'm scared
that something's wrong with me
Instrumental
You tell me that I am so pretty
You tell me that I am so pretty
I should be
I don't know
I don't know
I don't feel
so very pretty
so very pretty
so very pretty
and I'm scared
that something's wrong with me
I don't know
I don't know
I don't feel
so very pretty
so very pretty
so very pretty
and I'm scared
that something's wrong with me

Caroline

I just recalled a girl
so golden fair
She was a girl
not of this atmosphere
Caroline
Caroline
May the sun
shine on you
And where she walked
they say that roses grew
Just say her name
and you will see it's true
Caroline
Caroline
May the sun
shine on you

Blue Turns To Grey
03:54
|
|||
|
So now that she is gone
you won't hurt bad for long
For maybe just an hour
or just a moment
of the day
then blue turns to grey
And try as you may
You just don't feel good
You don't feel alright
And you know that you must find her
find her, find her
You think you'll have a ball
and you won't hurt at all
You'll find another girl
or maybe more
to pass the time away
then blue turns to grey
And try as you may
You just don't feel good
You don't feel alright
And you know that you must find her
find her, find her
She's not home when you call
So then you go to all
All the places where she likes to be
but she has gone away
then blue turns to grey
And try as you may
You just don't feel good
You don't feel alright
And you know that you must find her
find her, find her
Blue turns to grey
Blue turns to grey
Blue turns to grey

diana darby Chicago, Illinois
Uncompromisingly spare, the songs of Diana Darby are psychotropic ballads that long to be sung from the dark corners of the room. Diana Darby's I V (intravenous) is a brand new album of songs retaining what Pitchfork called, "minimal, whispered rendition(s)" of "powerfully fatalistic evaluations of hope." ... more
