Verse 1.
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 wa---y 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 witchin? hour comes I always fly away, fly away, fly awa---y home

Chorus.
There?s a light in the city that comes down from above
Leavin? me wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
Down blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love
You gotta be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove,           mmmmmm

Verse 2.
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 awa---y 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 wa---y home
Chorus 2.  (Same as first chorus) (Continue riff and fade)
