As Wise As A Serpent Lyrics - Singles - Gerry Rafferty

Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away 

While the spirits come and go without a sound 

And just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home. 

There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry me 

I don't ever hang my soul out on the line 

When the witchin' hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home. 

There's a light in the city, that comes down from above 

Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove 

Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love 

You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.

Now you once asked me why we can't communicate 

But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth 

If I told you right now, you'd only run away, run away, run away home 

So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away 

While the spirits come and go without a sound 

Yeah just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way, find a way, find a way home. 

There's a light in the city, that comes down from above 

Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove 

Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love 

You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.
