Lyrics

Night in gale, sing us a song of a love that once be longed. Night in gale, tell me your tale. Was your jour ney far too long? Does it seem like I'm look ing for an an swer to a ques tion I can’t ask? I don’t know which way the feath er falls, or if I should blow it to the left. Night in gale, sing us a song of a love that once be longed. Night in gale, tell me your tale. Was your jour ney far too long? All the voic es that are spin nin’ a round me, try ing to tell me what to say. So can I fly right be hind you, and you can take me a way? All the voic es that are spin nin’ a round me, try ing to tell me what to say, so can I fly right be hind you, and you can take me a way? Ah, you can take me a (A6/9)way. Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
