Seven

Taking it easy
Wasting my time everywhere i go
Then you try to please me
Telling me things i already know
Think i'm going on a vacation
Slippin' on my shoes
Do i need an explanation,
One that i can use?
But i know - that it shows - here i go

Skatin'...oh -
Skatin'...over the water
Skatin'...through my heart,
Through my heart i go

I can't deny it
Giving is such an easy task
You just got to try it
'stead of wondering what you're
Gonna ask
Outside my window it's freezin'
And the day is new
Tell myself that i believe in
What i know ain't true
Yes i do know - that it shows - here i go

Skatin'...oh -
Skatin'...over the water
Skatin'...through my heart,
Through my heart i go

What good does it do for me to say
You're going nowhere?
On the lake the ice will pave your way
Leave it all behind just to get there

Skatin'...oh -
Skatin'...over the water
Skatin'...through my heart,
Through my heart i go

Passing through i bring love to you
Let me see your smile
Though it seems so untrue, i'm standing
Right here beside you
Can i stay a while

I been too long feeling kinda low
Help me to follow through
From the start
'cause i can't seem to find a way to go
Is it for me to know my mind
In a place that holds no time
For a little while
'cause soon we must part

Passing through i bring love to you
Let me see your smile
Though it seems so untrue, i'm standing
Right here beside you
Can i stay a while

Firefly dance for you and i, and don't go
Leaving us hollow through
From the start
'cause moonlight don't seem right
When you're alone
Is it for you to know my mind
With a hope that you might find
Me with you sometime
But, soon we must part

Passing through i bring love to you
Let me see your smile
Though it seems so untrue, i'm standing
Right here beside you
Can i stay a while

We were setting in the harbor
With our sights out on the land
There was something someone or other
That we couldn't quite understand
About the driving wheel
Want to know how it feels
To be taking time out turn it all about
Taking hold the drivin'

Thre were miles of time drowned
In the wine
We were talkin' 'bout better days
It was years ago when we pelt the goal
Was anchored to the changing ways

There ain't nothin' here only the fear of
What is right and what is real
Satisfaction smile come on board
For a while
We're taking hold of the drivin' wheel

We were set in the harbor
Had our sights on the land
All the men at the wheel moving on
With the plan
We were reaching tohether for
The same end
Sunshiny weather comin' 'round
The bend

You've got your reasons
Like the seasons they change
Talking of pleasure
While enjoying the pain


And though it keeps you in the light
And all the words are said just right
There's still a cry in the night

Up on the mountain
Through the snow-covered hills
Taken for granted
You can get all your fill

And if i seem to look away
And turn the pages of the play
There are these things i have to say

I'm a springtime boy and i look
For the joy
Of a world in bloom could it come
Never too soon
And while the world is turning
And the sun is burning
Do you think in my yearning that
The journey is through
I can't leave it up to you

And though it keeps you in the light
And all the words are said just right
There's still a cry in the night
