lyrics

There once a poor man who’d sit and play
He led to misfortune and died that day
His wife love of all begged him to stay
She dreamt of gray and old and doubted his faith

Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, oh fly away
Please, please stay
Fly, fly, fly away

There once was a prisoned man who in humanity lost faith
So he prayed to God as Siberia grew older each day
At last came a guilty man whose convictions were strong
When asked of his family said: Granddad you sinner, you don’t belong

Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, oh fly away
Please, please stay
Fly, fly, fly away

There once was a quiet man who had a chance to escape
But instead knew the wiser to turn his cheek and walk away
That night when all was still, Makar came to say:
Aksyonof of Vladimir, I am the one to blame

Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, oh fly away
Please, please stay
Fly, fly, fly away

There once was a dying man who accepted his fate
God knows the truth but waits.

Fly, fly, fly away
Fly, oh fly away
Please, please stay
Fly, fly, fly away
