Doc, if you let me |
|
I'll read you the words |
|
Of Hilton on a place that might sound absurd |
|
But page after page he has kept me engaged |
|
With his fine narration, oh |
|
Shangri-la is nowhere near |
|
It does not exist here |
|
It's all in your head |
|
Day in and day out |
|
I wonder if maybe |
|
I have been there |
|
Once in my life, Doc, a moment in time |
|
The two worlds eclipsed and the stars aligned |
|
Music would play as I'd get swept away |
|
In those eyes so blue, so true |
|
But then I let it slip away |
|
A chance at a good life |
|
It's all in your mind |
|
Day in and day out |
|
Wonder if maybe |
|
I'd be different |
|
Man makes the myth |
|
Just to mix up the menace of life |
|
Think of all I've missed |
|
Thanks to crippling expectations |
|
I knew it was real |
|
Still I walked out the door |
|
I know Shangri-la is somewhere near |
|
I've seen it, I've been there |
|
(Manifestation of...) |
|
Day in and day out |
|
Deep inside |
|
I still hear the |
|
Music, sweetly, softly, sweeping |
