Oh, let the Sun beat down upon my face 
 With stars to fill my dreams 
 I am a traveler of both time and space 
 To be where I have been 
    Sit with elders of the gentle race 
 This world has seldom seen 
 Talk of days for which they sit and wait 
 All will be revealed   
 Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace 
 Whose sounds caress my ear 
 But not a word I heard could I relate 
 The story was quite clear 
 Oh, oh   
 Oh, baby, I've been flying 
 No, yeah, mama, there ain't no denying 
 Oh, oh, yeah, I've been flying 
 Mama, mama, ain't no denying, no denying   
 Oh, all I see turns to brown 
 As the Sun burns the ground 
 And my eyes fill with sand 
 As I scan this wasted land 
 Trying to find, trying to find where I've been   
 Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace 
 Like thoughts inside a dream 
 Here is the path that led me to that place 
 Yellow desert stream   
 My Shangri-La beneath the summer Moon 
 I will return again 
 Sure as the dust that floats high in June 
 When moving through Kashmir   
 Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails 
 Across the sea of years 
 With no provision but an open face 
 Along the straits of fear 
 Oh, oh   
 Oh, when I'm on 
 When I'm on my way, yeah 
 When I see 
 When I see the way, you'll stay, yeah   
 Oh, yeah, yeah 
 Oh, yeah, yeah, when I'm down 
 Oh, yeah, yeah 
 Oh, yeah, yeah, but I'm down, so down   
 Oh, my baby 
 Oh, my baby, let me take you there 
 Oh, come on, come on, oh 
 Let me take you there, let me take you there   
 Oh, yeah, yeah 
 Oh, yeah, yeah
