When You Come Back Down

by Nickel Creek

You've gotta leave me know, you've got to go alone

You've got to chase a dream, one that's all your own

Before it slips away.

When you're flyin' high, take my heart along.

I'll be the harmony in every lonely song

That you learn to play.

When you're soarin' through the air

I'll be your solid ground

Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there

When you come back down.

I keep lookin' up, expectin' your return

My greatest fear will be that you'll crash and burn

And I won't feel your fire.

I'll be the other hand that always holds the line

Connecting in between you sweet heart and mine

I'm strung our on that wire

And I'll be on the other end, to hear you when you call

Angel, you were born to fly, and if you get too high,

I'll catch you when you fall.

Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings

I know the sky is calling

Angel, let me help you with your wings

When you're soaring through the air

I'll be your solid ground

Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there

When you come back down.
