[hometext] => learnt v learned. Too tired to think. I should ask a learned other
[bodytext] => The day I learnt to fly I flapped and said goodbye I never wondered why Newton had a doubt I ventured out with ease gliding in the breeze flapping arms and knees to try to turn about just what did I see? above both you and me so good now to be free without the need to shout I stood upon your roof a subtle kind of proof but you remained aloof I gave a bird a clout the sun it shone the breeze it cooled and on that day the sky I ruled I felt moist clouds upon my face and flew for miles in my own space The day I learnt to fly I went there, didn't try no longer feeling sly I was one on my own I couldn't help but tease perching in the trees I gave myself a squeeze for I was in my zone but you I could not see though I was so free I needed you with me but me, you had outgrown So standing on your roof it was the final proof that nothing would remove that layered sheet of stone So I went home took off my wings and swore never to wear those things for they remind me that success cannot replace you in that dress your smiling face in memories impossible a fantasy the day you said goodbye I knew I'd never fly.
