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
