Flying To My Home

Paul McCartney · Flowers in the Dirt [1989]

I'm, I'm

FLYING TO MY HOME,

Home,

FLYING TO MY HOME.

Home, home, home

THE SUN IS FADING IN THE WEST,

OUT WHERE THE CATTLE ROAM.

I'M LIKE A BIRD AT THE END OF THE DAY,

FLYING TO MY HOME.

I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, SWEET MAJESTY,

I'M FLYING TO MY HOME.

UH.

THE SKY IS LIKE A PAINTED FLAG,

ABOVE A SEA OF CHROME.

I'VE GOT A WOMAN LIVING IN MY LIFE,

LIVING IN MY HOME.

I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, SWEET MAJESTY,

I'M FLYING TO MY HOME.

I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK FOR SO LONG,

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GONNA RECOGNISE IT.

UH, UH, UH, UH.

THEY GAVE THE OLD PLACE A NEW FACE,

AND I'M GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO SIZE THE SITUATION UP.

AH -

AH-AH -

UH -

UH -

UH-UH -

UH -

UH-UH-UH-UH-UH-UH -

UH-UH-UH-UH -

I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK FOR SO LONG,

I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GONNA RECOGNISE IT.

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

THEY GAVE THE OLD PLACE A NEW FACE,

AND I'M GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO SIZE THE SITUATION UP, OH YEAH.

THE SUN IS FADING IN THE WEST,

OUT WHERE THE CATTLE ROAM.

I'VE GOT A WOMAN LIVING IN MY LIFE,

LIVING IN MY HOME.

OOH, I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, SWEET MAJESTY,

I'M FLYING TO MY HOME.

I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, (I'm flying to my home)

I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, (I'm flying to my home)

I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, (I'm flying to my home)

FLYING TO MY HOME, SWEET MAJESTY,

I'M FLYING TO MY HOME.

I'm flying to my home,

I'm flying to my home,

Flying to my home,

I'm flying to my home,

I'm flying to my home,

Flying to my home,

Flying.

Flying To My Home

Paul McCartney's "Flying To My Home" appears on the 1989 compilation album Flowers in the Dirt, serving as a reflective addition to his extensive discography. The track exemplifies the singer-songwriter's enduring ability to blend personal narrative with melodic accessibility, characteristic of his work spanning from his early solo years through his later career. While often associated with the whimsical and narrative-driven style of his 1970s recordings like Ram, this piece maintains a distinct emotional core that resonates with themes of longing and domesticity. As part of a curated collection of his songs, the recording stands as a testament to McCartney's consistent contribution to popular music, offering a glimpse into his continued exploration of lyrical depth and melodic structure well into the late twentieth century.
