Well surprise surprise

Looking into your eyes

To see so far away

Right in my own backyard

To have visions like this

Not be so hard to come by

To see why a word and a kiss

Can take the world away



(chorus)

And even though you haven't taken me

To Paris or Rome

You're never gonna catch me saying

That you never take me anywhere because

The place that you've been taking me to

Is way way closer to home

And I don't know where I'm going

But wherever it is

You take me There

You take me There



And everyday this wild winter stays

To rattle our windows

The hotter the sand

On this beach where we run

The bluer the sky

The greener the billows

The whiter the strand

The brighter the sun



(chorus)



Here's what Mr. Chuang Tzu has to say

About home towns

If your life is true

You don't have to go far

To find heaven and earth

On the rim of your doorway

To have ocean and sky

Everywhere that you are



(chorus)
