take you there (misty)
bruce hornsby
light as a feather take to the air
light as a feather floating
light as a feather floating on air
down by the banks of green like we used to do
down in the shadows of the banks below
places you've forgotten you know
lost in the shuffle of long ago
i'll take you there floating on air
dream the original dream like we used to do
under the moonlight on a night so rare
just say the word and i'll take you there
down in the shadows of the banks
down in the shadows so slow
let me know when you're ready to go
you been a long time thinking
the wind in the sails is billowing slow
with the tree frogs singing love's old sweet song in the cool green air
but you never know it might turn out well
so many places pull at your heart
but you never could afford the fare
rip those picture postcards apart
i'll take you there floating on air
take you along where music is praying
the words to the song are all we're saying
scrub our hearts til the love shines through
down in the shadows of the banks
down in the shadows so slow
where it begins in the port of the skies
recognition gleams from a stranger's eyes
light as a feather floating on air
will o' the wind i'll take you there
who know too much and none of it true
seen it all and they still don't care
i'll take you there in the breath of a song
banish despair for a moment or two if not for long
the solution to hate is a personal thing
a melody played on just one string
down in the shadows of the banks
while the wind is billowing
