If you're frightened and confused

And you can't remember who you're talkin' to

If your concentration slips away

Cuz your baby is miles away



Chorus:

There's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love...

Love the one you're with



Don't sit frightened, don't sit mad

Don't sit cryin' 'bout the good times you had

There's a girl sittin' right next to you

And she's waiting for something to do



Chorus:

There's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love...

Love the one you're with



Turn your heartaches into joy

She's a girl, you're a boy,

Get it all together, make it nice

I won't give you no more advice



Chorus:

There's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love...

Love the one you're with



When I get restless what can I do

When I need someone I think about you

I got to move on, not fade away

I'm only just growin' a little each day

I got to quit this runnin' around

Got to get rid of the blues

Got to find somebody to make me slow down



Chorus:

Oh lay it down

Sit yourself down, take a look around

Sit yourself down, take a look around

Sit yourself down, take a look around

Sit yourself down, take a look around



When I get older mellowed down

Get myself settled on a patch of ground

Takin' it easy, live every day

Me and the raven will fly away

Got to stop runnin', got to get rid of the blues
