The lady who said she could fly

Did you meet the lady who said she could fly
She broke off her wings when she fell from the sky
The effort was brave and she gave a sigh
Now I'll sail through the sky on my own, my oh my
(alternative line from live BBC recording: But to fly when you're moulting you never should try)

I can fly through the air
I can fly anywhere
I can fly through the sky
And just see if I care

When she was a girl she would jump rather high
Then she fell in love with the air and the sky
She discovered her wings and she gave a loud cry
Now I'll sail through the sky on my own, my oh my

I can fly through the air
I can fly anywhere
I can fly through the sky
And just see if I care

Back to the story

Now she's been repaired and her wings are as new
She's laughing and dancing way up in the blue
But look she has gone, where could she go to?
Her wings were so silver, her halo so new

I can fly through the air
I can fly anywhere
I can fly through the sky
And just see if I care
