Craig Fuller, Bill Payne



Lookin' out on the evening light

You see the lightnin' and the thunder rollin' in

As you strain to keep that setting sun in sight

Ya start to get that Summer feelin' back again

of a time

lost in illusion

not afraid to cross that line



You don't have to close your eyes

You don't have to turn away

You can't expect to take the right road every morning

When you start to feel the words get in the way

Listen to your heart

And what it has to say



You say you're searchin' for some common ground

The golden thread that keeps us all together

And you wish these troubled times would turn around

Bring back just a little warmer weather to your life

To shine through the sorrow

And not fade out with the morning light



But you don't have to close your eyes

You don't have to turn away

You can't expect to take the right road every morning

When you start to feel the words get in the way

Listen to your heart

And what it has to say



You say you're lookin' to leave the danger zone

Lookin to leave off all this pain and sorrow

And you hate so much to live your life alone

But with half a chance you'd say good-bye tomorrow

To be free

From all this confusion

And hav it like it used to be

Soft as a Summer day

Warm as a gentle breeze

Rollin' out across the sea



But you don't have to close your eyes

You don't have to turn away

You can't expect to take the right road every morning

When you start to feel the words get in the way

Listen to your heart

And what it has to say
