She'll Fly Away (I'll Fly Away, Albert E. Brumley)
"Wow, Alex! Any higher, and you're gonna fly right off the Island."
- Richard, Dead Is Dead
Here's a little song recollecting the sweet but somehow ominous swing set moment in Dead Is Dead. It's from Richard's perspective, first addressing Alex then Ben, to the tune of the Gospel song I'll Fly Away.
She’ll Fly Away
Alex, wow! What buoyancy you've shown! You’ll fly away.
What a time to treasure when you’ve grown! You’ll fly away.
You’ll fly away from this place. You’ll fly away.
Swing so high that you almost touch the sky. You’ll fly away.
Listen, we are realistic men. She’ll fly away.
One day, he may try to take her, Ben. She’ll fly away.
She’ll fly away from this place. She’ll fly away.
Push her high so she’ll almost touch the sky. She’ll fly away.
Yes, push her high so she’ll almost touch the sky. She’ll fly away.
