Looking Into You

[Verse 1]

Well I looked into a house I once lived in

Around the time I first went on my own

When the roads were as many as the places I had dreamed of

And my friends and I were one

Now the distance is done

Yeah the search has begun

I've come to see where my beginnings have gone

[Verse 2]

Well the walls and the windows were still standing

And the music could be heard at the door

Where the people who kindly endured my odd questions

Asked if I'd come very far

And when my silence replied

Well they took me inside

Where their children sat playing on the floor

[Bridge]

Well we spoke of the changes that would find us farther on

And it left me so warm and so high

But as I stepped back outside to the gray morning sun

I heard that highway whisper and sigh

Are you ready to fly?

[Verse 3]

And I looked into the faces all passing by

It's an ocean that will never be filled

And the house that grows older and finally crumbles

That even love cannot rebuild

Well it's a hotel at best

You're here as a guest

You oughta make yourself at home

While you're waiting for the rest

[Chorus]

Well I looked into the dream of the millions

That one day the search will be through

Now here I stand at the edge of my embattled illusions

Looking into you

[Verse 4]

Oh yeah, the great song traveler passed through here

And he opened my eyes to the view

And I was among those who call him a prophet

And I asked him what was true

Until the distance had shown how the road remains alone

Now I'm looking in my life for a truth that is my own

[Chorus]

Well I looked into the sky for my anthem

And the words and the music came through

But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen

Looking into you

And that's true

Mmm
