Early version sung four years before
its official release in 1979 You know I've never seen your eyes so wide Your appetite this occupied With someone else As if we'd been alone Now it ain't my style to hold on that tight Let's be married one more night I guess it's time, I finally let you go Oh I recall the scenery started fading I held you til you learned to walk on air Don't look down, it's gone, it's faded baby The Smokey Life is practiced everywhere Set your little restless heart at ease The lessons in all of these autumn leaves Ain't no sense in waiting for the snow Hurry, hurry, hurry now or you'll be late There's nothing to investigate I guess it's time, I finally let you go Oh I recall the scenery started fading I held you til you learned to walk on air Don't look down, it's gone, it's faded baby The Smokey Life is practiced everywhere Come back when the moment lends You can look up all my very closest friends I guess it's time, I finally let you go |
