it's not what you imagine that's put furrows on my brow      it's not who I am but what I am that counts      I've got to do some thinking we've both said enough for now      I don't know what's wrong but I sure don't know what's right            CHORUS      but to you I believe it's right to say      that I'll be up up and on my way      before the sun      has overlooked your window sill            you may say I'm a crusader with a cause that's undefined      yet I must face another battle in this war      I smile 'cause I'm no fighter then I turn and look behind      but the past won't ever hold an open door            CHORUS 2      and to you there's one more thing to say      that you must wait while I must fly away      before the sun      has overlooked your window sill            BRIDGE      they're telling tales in the highest quarters      'bout faith and blood and glory      just a little more oil on troubled waters      it's the same old story            footsteps in the darkness just before the light of dawn      some lines I read still running round my mind      'for I have promises to keep miles to go before I sleep'      but who's to know the answers I will find            CHORUS 3      yes and there's so much more to say      but we will wait 'cause I must fly away      before the sun      has overlooked your window sill            lyrics and music © 1969 and 2005 Alan Charles Stewart
