Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away

While the spirits come and go without a sound

And just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home.



There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry me

I don't ever hang my soul out on the line

When the witchin' hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home.



There's a light in the city, that comes down from above

Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove

Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love

You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.



Now you once asked me why we can't communicate

But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth

If I told you right now, you'd only run away, run away, run away home

So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away

While the spirits come and go without a sound

Yeah just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home.



There's a light in the city, that comes down from above

Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove

Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love

You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.

    Light in your head and dead on your feet
    Well another crazy day
    You drink the night away..."

    Midsummer magic when the night turns to day
    And songbirds greet the dawn
    You lie awake..."

    Down the street the neon light shines..."

    Just as the night is comin' down
    Warm wind blowin' through the trees
    I watch them swing, I watch them sway..."

    When I wanted you to share my life, I had no doubt in my mind
    And it's been you, woman, right down the line..."

    Going down, going down, going down on an endless sea
    Sail with the wind, you weather the storm
    You bring it all home, bring it all home, you bring it all home...."
