  • Running alone in the crazy city
    Look at the face of once were pretty
    People then wonder what happened
    To make it that way
    Listen around you, have you heard?
    Climb on the back of a silver bird
    London to L.A. before you can think
    What to say

    Stop awhile, take a smile
    Know that you're living in today
    Up and down, look around
    No need to hide yourself away

    Out in the country's where I'm going
    Back where the tree of life's still growing
    Take a free ride where the tide
    Flows the way of your heart

    Follow the wild dove where he's flying
    Out where the sun is never crying
    Wait at the gate or they'll stop you
    And blow you apart

    Stop awhile, take a smile
    Know that you're living in today
    Up and down, look around
    No need to hide yourself away Writer/s: Les Holroyd
