As Wise as a Serpent-Gerry Rafferty

Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away While the spirits come and go without a sound And just like you and me, they€™re tryin€™ to find a way, find a way, find a way home. There€™s a full moon in the sky, but that don€™t worry me I don€™t ever hang my soul out on the line When the witchin€™ hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home. There€™s a light in the city, that comes down from above Leavin€™ you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove Don€™t blow your tomorrows, don€™t throw away your love You€™ve got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove. Now you once asked me why we can€™t communicate But it doesn€™t always pay to tell the truth If I told you right now, you€™d only run away, run away, run away home So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away While the spirits come and go without a sound Yeah just like you and me, they€™re tryin€™ to find a way, find a way, find a way home. There€™s a light in the city, that comes down from above Leavin€™ you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove Don€™t blow your tomorrows, don€™t throw away your love You€™ve got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.
