High Fly (Didn’t I Wait?)
Written by Mallory Graham, Scott Tyler
Copyright 2019 Penny Jar Publishing

High fly- Didn’t I wait? Didn’t I, Didn’t I wait?
Hawk in the meadow and a robin on the gate
Fly high, didn’t I wait?

All through the winter waiting for the ice to break
(Fly high didn’t I wait?)
Now I’m just a river running looking for a name
(High fly didn’t I wait?)

Mud is rolling down off of the mountain with the rain
(Fly high didn’t I wait?)
Valley filling up but it’s been looking for a change
(High fly didn’t I wait?)

I’ve been waiting for the day to break
Are you on your way?
Didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I wait?
Oh didn’t I wait?
I’ve been waiting for the day to break
I’ve been waiting for the day to break
I’ve been waiting for the day to break

Sun is coming up and the maple tree’s awake
(Didn’t I, didn’t I wait?)
Sugar in the branches and sugar in the veins
(Fly high, didn’t I wait?)
Slugging forty gallons for a bucketful to taste
(Didn’t I, didn’t I wait?)
Sugar in the cupboard and sugar for the wait
(High fly, didn’t I wait?)

High fly- Didn’t I wait? Didn’t I, Didn’t I wait?
Hawk in the meadow and a robin on the gate
Fly high, didn’t I wait?
