As Wise As A Serpent |
| 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. |
