Refrain:

Don't know where I'm going ...

Can't tell where I've been,

Seems like I’ve been in this place once before,

Don't want to go there again

Back home in my dreamland

Back here where the sky seems, O so blue

Where the trees seem to whisper

And the wind rushes past my thoughts of you.

Verse 1:

Time it was when everything seemed oh so plain to see

Life was such a simple game, but would you all agree?

...Anymore, anymore

Someone turned the tempo to a pace I can't compare

Just can't keep on going cause I need time to repair

... Anymore, anymore.

High up on a mountaintop where only eagles dare

I sit and contemplate a love that's vanished in the air

... in the air, in the air.

(Refrain)

Verse 2:

Once I had a woman thought I'd love forevermore

Turned my back and looked away a second, maybe more

... Maybe more, maybe more.

Went out searching for something I thought I'd never find

When I did, I thought again and found I'd changed my mind

... Changed my mind, changed my mind

High up on a mountaintop where only eagles dare

I sit and contemplate a love that's vanished in the air

... In the air, in the air.

(Refrain)
