lyrics

key of life (coming to you now)

you can change your mind
as often as you like
no one saw it coming
but it overcame us
and in my mind
if i had known better
than to hide inside the cradle
of a live volcano
of course you allow yourself
to bend and break the rules as you go
it makes no difference
if you’re losing or you’re winning
as long as your on the payroll

i’m coming to you now
in the key of life
and i’m making my way home
in the middle of the night
with a smile on my face
and a furrowed brow
as bruised and battered
as the world would allow

modern man
came to understand
the better angels up there
were not ours for the taking
and if i can
then may i add my name
to the ever growing list
of hearts that are breaking

you get a little bit older
you get a little bit darker
you get a little be colder
you get a little bit wiser
what’s the use of trying to fight it babe?

i’m coming to you now
in the name of love
with a quiver of arrows
on the wings of a dove
it’s a magical wound
you just can’t see it now
and you know that it got there
you just don’t know how

in your dark fever alone
with you i pass the time
and i watch over you constantly
putting my heart on the line

and i’m breaking it to you now
‘cuz you can’t really know
how long it’ll last
how far it’ll go
get your ass in the saddle
find the needle in the hay
we were just getting started
now we’re passing away
i’m coming to you now
in the name of love
when it’s coming around
you can never get enough
i’m coming to you now
‘cuz we’re running out of time
and i’m making my way home
in the middle of the night
