Further to Fly
There may come a time
When you'll be tired
As tired as a dream that wants to die
And further to fly
Further to fly
Further to fly
Further to fly
Maybe you will find a love
That you discover accidentally
Who falls against you gently
As a pickpocket
Brushes your thigh
Further to fly
Effortless music from the Cameroons
The spinning darkness of her hair
A conversation in a crowded room going nowhere
The open palm of desire
Wants everything
It wants everything
It wants everything
Sometimes I'll be walking down
The street and I'll be thinking
Am I crazy
Or is this some morbid little lie
Further to fly
Further to fly
Further to fly
A recent loss of memory
A shadow in the family
The baby waves bye-bye
I'm trying, I'm flying
There may come a time
When I will lose you
Lose you as I lose my light
Days falling backward into velvet night
The open palm of desire
Wants everything
It wants everything
It wants soil as soft as summer
And the strength to push like spring
A broken laugh a broken fever
Take it up with the great deceiver
Who looks you in the eye
And says baby don't cry
Further to fly
There may come a time
When I will lose you
Lose you as I lose my sight
Days falling backward into velvet night
The open palm of desire
The Rose of Jericho
Soil as soft as summer
The strength to let you go

Disco: The Rhythm Of The Saints
Comentarios: Mediante unas letras crípticas Simon sugiere que superar los problemas que surgen en la vida y conservar la fuerza a pesar de los disgustos, es una simple cuestión de querer y poder.
Es de destacar la belleza y poesía que encierran los textos de esta canción que bien hubieran merecido una música de mayor entidad.
En los créditos del álbum hay un error y se menciona al guitarrista congoleño Rigo Star como "Ringo Star" lo que ocasionó el desconcierto de muchos fans. ¿Ringo tocando la guitarra?.
