Ralph McTell — Fear of Flying

I always knew the other side of love I always knew the other side of love I needed every friend To fill up the bus and to stay with me So the journey won't ever end We'll have a little music sure enough To keep our spirits high Some of us may even fall in love Others gaze out of the windows and sigh There's a bus leaving town tonight Someone has already said It's not the arriving, it's the getting there But the road is dark ahead Don't you worry 'bout the destination We all know where it ends On this trip it's the only certainty That's why I need all these friends The last time someone got off the bus I never realized how long we'd spend Looking at empty seats in front of us It's a long old road that has no bend It's a long old road that has no bend There's a bus leaving town tonight Every second of every day It's not the arriving that matters so much But what happens along the way But what happens along the way They say, only bet what you can stand to lose Don't take a lover if you don't want to cry But how can you reach out for the stars If you're too scared to fly? I always knew the other side of love I needed every friend To fill up the bus and to stay with me So the journey won't ever end So the journey won't ever end So the journey won't ever end ...
