Ohhh... It takes cold dry eyes...
Ohhh... In your quiet eyes problems arose...
It doesn't take a man, man at all, to shine this light
All it takes, a green light to show that the day's alright,
Down... down the road, Cause now you know, now you know
It takes a woman you breeze when you follow the road, my dream
And on this quiet night, only starry skies, it carries us home
It will take you to the winds, to find the man, the life I've once known
My feet are on the ground, head is in the sound, baby we need, we're flying free,
I knew we would, I knew we would, I knew we would.
(Harmonica solo)
It takes the freedom you go, when you follow the road, we're hangin on
And on these quiet days, only sunny rays, it carries me home, way beyond
Take me to the winds to find the man, life I once known
My feet are on the ground, my head is in the sound, and baby we need, we're flying free
I knew we could, I knew we would, I knew we could, I knew we would.
(Harmonica solo)
Oh... it takes a couple lifetimes
Oh... in your quiet eyes the problems return to my old home.
It doesn't take a man, man at all, to shine this light
All it takes is a green light to show the days alright, days alright
Honey now we know.
