Basic Song Riff behind:

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dream.

I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been.

To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen.

They talk of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed.

Basic Song Riff behind:

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, sounds caress my ear.

But not a word I heard could I relay, the story was quite clear. Oh!

Power fill [2x]

Oooh, baby I've been lyin'. Mama, there ain't no denyin'.

Oooh, yeah, I've been flyin'. Mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin'.

Power fill [2x]

Am B Am B

All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground.

Am B Am B

And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land.

Am B

Trying to find, trying to find where I've been.

Basic song riff behind:

Oh, pilot of the storm that leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream

You've the map that led me to that place, yellow desert stream

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again

Sure as the dust that blows high in June, when moving through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years

With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear. Oh!

Power Fill: [2x]

Am B

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah.

Am B [etc.]

When I see, when I see the way they stay, yeah.

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down.

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down.

Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there.

Let me take you there. Let me take you there.
