I'm gonna exchange my things for precious wings and fly
Over the valley of the kings and the queens
Where the sleeping cities lie
One bright night, I'm gonna fly right out my window
Gonna fly so high in the night sky
That the people below won't see me go by
Gonna fly all around, and smile down on the sleeping countryside
Fly all around, never come down till Soloman takes another bride
Then I'm gonna exchange my precious wings for things and die
Over the valley of the kings and the queens
Where the sleeping cities lie
One bright night I gonna fly right out my window
Gonna fly so high in the night sky
That the people below won't see me go by
Gonna fly all around, and smile down on the sleeping countryside
Fly all around, never come down till Soloman takes another bride
Then I'm gonna exchange my precious wings for things and die
Over the valley of the kings and the queens
Where the sleeping cities lie
One bright night I gonna fly right out my window
Gonna fly so high in the night sky
That the people below won't see me go by
