Looking Into You |
Well, I looked into a house I once lived in |
Around the time I first went on my own |
When the roads were as many as the places I had dreamed of |
And my friends and I were one |
Now the distance is done and the search has begun |
I’ve come to see where my beginnings have gone |
Oh, the walls and the windows were still standing |
And the music could be heard at the door |
Where the people who kindly endured my odd questions |
Asked if I came very far |
And when my silence replied they took me inside |
Where their children sat playing on the floor |
Well, we spoke of the changes that would find us farther on |
And it left me so warm and so high |
But as I stepped back outside to the gray morning sun |
I heard that highway whisper and sigh |
Are you ready to fly? |
And I looked into the faces all passing by |
It’s an ocean that will never be filled |
And the house that grows older and finally crumbles |
That even love cannot rebuild |
It’s a hotel at best, you’re here as a guest |
You oughta make yourself at home while you’re waiting for the rest |
Well, I looked into dream of the millions |
That one day the search will be through |
Now here I stand at the edge of my embattled illusions |
Looking into you |
The great song traveler passed through here |
And he opened my eyes to the view |
And I was among those who called him a prophet |
And I asked him what was true |
Until the distance had shown how the road remains alone |
Now I’m looking in my life for a truth that is my own |
Well I looked into the sky for my anthem |
And the words and the music came through |
But words and music will never touch the beauty that I’ve seen |
Looking into you — and that’s true |
