Lookin' out on the evening light You see the lightnin' and the thunder rollin' in As you strain to keep that setting sun in sight Ya start to get that Summer feelin' back again of a time lost in illusion not afraid to cross that line
You don't have to close your eyes You don't have to turn away You can't expect to take the right road every morning When you start to feel the words get in the way Listen to your heart And what it has to say
You say you're searchin' for some common ground The golden thread that keeps us all together And you wish these troubled times would turn around Bring back just a little warmer weather to your life To shine through the sorrow And not fade out with the morning light
But you don't have to close your eyes You don't have to turn away You can't expect to take the right road every morning When you start to feel the words get in the way Listen to your heart And what it has to say
You say you're lookin' to leave the danger zone Lookin to leave off all this pain and sorrow And you hate so much to live your life alone But with half a chance you'd say good-bye tomorrow To be free From all this confusion And hav it like it used to be Soft as a Summer day Warm as a gentle breeze Rollin' out across the sea
But you don't have to close your eyes You don't have to turn away You can't expect to take the right road every morning When you start to feel the words get in the way Listen to your heart And what it has to say
