Di di di di di la la la la la la
in a spaceship over the mountains
chasing rainbows in the setting sun
leaving heart and home for the city of angels
i feel my life is undone
There are pathways winding below me
in pleasure i¡¯ve gone where they go
in the quiet stillness i can hear symphonies
the loveliest music i know
How can i leave you again
i must be clear out of my mind
lost in a storm i¡¯ve gone blind
oh, how can i leave you again
Oh, it¡¯s been a long time since i¡¯ve listened
still longer since i¡¯ve walked with you
for the first time i know what i¡¯m missing
some answers are no longer true
So i question the course that i follow
i¡¯m doubtful and deep in despair
my heart is full of impossible notions
can it be you no longer care?
how can i leave you again
i must be clear out of my mind
lost in a storm i¡¯ve gone blind
oh, how can i leave you again
How can i leave you again
i must be clear out of my mind
lost in a storm i¡¯ve gone blind
oh, how can i leave you again
