in AlbumCrisis? What Crisis?

Lady, you come across the water,

Well don't you think you oughta?

Be waiting a while,

Are you acting, on what your heart has told you,

Is nothing gonna' hold you, from flying away, a-ha

Flying away a-ha, flying away.

'Cause there's nowhere to go,

Though the road is out stretching before you,

and the farther you go,

I said,

-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-

I said,

-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-

and you know just who you are

and you know that there's something between us,

and you like what you feel, but

-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-

-Well I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-

And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, oh-no

Oh-la-la-la-la 4 Arrgh 3Mister, you better get a move on

You better get a fix on,

Mmm-you better walk straight.

I said Lady, oh just take me if you want me, oh,

take me as you find me,

Oh, I'm needing your love so bad *3

And there's nowhere to go,

though the road is out stretching before you,

and the farther you go,

I said,

-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-

I said,

-Ain't nothing gonna get you to heaven-

and you know just who you are

and you know that there's something between us, and,

you like what you feel, but,

-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-

But,

-I can tell that you're not gonna turn back-

And don't you know I'm a little bit sad, sad, sad, sad.

(Takin' the long way, and no turning back)
