Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Along the road
To foreign ground
You've passed me by
As sun went down
[Verse 2]
Take it easy, babe
I see you burnin' like a fire
Men aren't gonna find you
Followin' their footsteps to your heart's desire
[Verse 3]
Oh, well I know
My time ain't gone
Close your eyes
I'm almost gone
[Verse 4]
Take it easy, babe
I know you'll quit me when you can
The thing that brought you to me
Same thing gonna take you to another man
[Verse 5]
When Buddha woke
Beneath the trees
His shadows fell
On pined back leaves
[Verse 6]
Take it easy, babe
You got such trouble in your mind
One day you'll be free, babe
You can turn around, leave it all behind
[Verse 7]
Forty days
Forty nights
You walk the floor
And wonder why
[Verse 8]
Take it easy, babe
I know you hate to be alone
If I only drag you down then
Loneliness can make you love a heart of stone
