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?
Still, I ride on the wings of a high wind
Blowing steady and strong behind me
As the clouds surrender my fate is for certain
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea
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
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?
Still, I ride on the wings of a high wind
Blowing steady and strong behind me
As the clouds surrender my fate is for certain
I'm a sailor who runs to the sea
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
