"Fly Away"
Written by: C. Bayer Sager, D. Foster & P. Allen

You're an anchor
I'm a kite
You're what gets me through the night
You keep me steady and on course
'Til I found you I was lost

But you're the earth
And I'm sky
And sometimes if I go to high
But then you pull the string
That pulls me back
If not for you I might lose track

And I might fly away
Oh, I might fly away
And go my own way
To places that we've never been together

I might fly away
Take to the sky someday
But not for now
Not today
Nobody here is flying away, away

You have reasons
I have dreams
So we're perfect so it seems

You talk fortunes
I tell the truth
Kept me from my crazy youth

When you're near me I feel whole
I don't have to rock and roll
I don't worry
I don't think
But baby hold me
'Cause I’m on the brink

I just might fly away
Oh, I might fly away
And go my own way
To places that we've never been together

I might fly away
Take to the sky someday
But not for now
Not today
Nobody here is flying, flying away

Oh, I might fly away
I might fly away
But not for now
Not today
Nobody here is flying away

Oh, I might fly away
I might fly away
Take to the sky someday
But not for now
Not today
Nobody here is flying away.

Peaked as high as No. 55 on the Billboard Hot 100 Charts in early 1981. A great soft rock song with a slightly jazzy sound and beat to it. RIP Peter.
