[Verse 1]
Why try? I know why
This feeling inside me says it`s time I was gone
Clear head, new life ahead
It`s time I was king now, not just one more pawn

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Moonrise, thoughtful eyes
Staring back at me from the window beside
No fright or hindsight
Leaving behind that empty feeling inside


[Chorus]
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, whoa!

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
Start a new chapter, find what I`m after
It`s changing every day
The change of a season`s 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

[Chorus]
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
My ship isn`t coming, and I just can`t pretend
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
My ship isn`t coming, and I just can`t pretend
My ship isn`t coming, and I just can`t pretend
