OH let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been
secret elders of a gentle race, swierl but seldom seen
top of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed

offer song from tongues of lilding grace, sounds caress my ear
not a word I heard could I relate, the story was quite clear
WHOOA OH, WHOOA OH

OOOH baby I've been lie'n
OOOH yea, baby there aint no deny'n
OOOH yea, I've been fly'n
mama aint no deny'n, no deny'n
(POWER FILL) x 2
Am B Am B
all I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground
Am B Am B
and my eye filled with sand, as I scan this racy land
Am B
try'n to find, try'n to find were I've been
(basic song riff)
AHHHH
OH I love the storm that leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream
he is the band that led me to that place, yellow desert screams
like shangrela beneath the summer moon, I will return to err
as the death that floats behind you, were moving through kashmir
(POWER FILL)
(basic song riff)
OH father of the four winds fill my sails, cross the sea of errs
with no provisions but an open face, norm'd straits of fear
WHOOA OH, WHOOA OH
(POWER FILL) x 2
Am B
When I want, when I'm on my way, yea
Am B
When I feel, when I think my brain to stay
Am B Am B
... OOOH yea OOOH yea when I'm down
Am B
OOOH yea OOOH yea when I'm down
Am B
OH my baby, OH my baby let me take you there
Am B
let me take you there....
