Lyrics

We were just (Am7)a bout to lose our home,

dia (C)monds ate the ra di o.

Mov (Am7)ing in the dead of night.

We took pho (Am7)to graphs, just some, just so

his (C)to ry’s some one to know.

We were mov (Am7)ing at the speed of flight.

(Em)Kids,

if you

want to,

that’s al right.

If you

want to hold me, hold me (Fmaj7)tight.

Just an a li (Fmaj7)en.

We were hov (Am)er ing with out a home,

Hov (Am)er ing in hope, some scope

to night

sees the light and says:

‘Fly if you

want to,

that’s al right.

But if you

want to call me, call this (Fmaj7)line.’

Just an a li (Fmaj7)en.

Oh, we (Fmaj7)just

want to (G6)get home

(Tell your lead er,

‘we come peace,

we mean harm.’)

Some where out there, in the un known,
