Lyrics

(Ab7)flight

(Bb)down,

there’s a song

on

low,

and your mind

just (Abm7)picked up on the sound.

Now you know

that (Ab7)you’re

wrong,

be cause it (Ebm7)drifts

like

smoke,

and it’s been there

(Abm7)play ing all a long.

Now you know,

now

(Ab13)you know.

The reeds and (Bbm7)brass have been

weav ing,

lead ing in to a sin

gle

note.

In

this place,

where your arms

un

fold,

here at last

you (Abm7)see your an cient face.

(Ab)Now you know,

(Ebm9)now

you know.

ca dence

rolls in

bro ken,

plays it ov er and

then

goes

one

flight down,

there’s a song

on

low,

and it’s been

(Abm7)play ing all a long.

(Ebm9)now

you know.

(Ebm9)Now

you know.
