Return to Fantasy
Uriah Heep
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Searching every day Looking every way Trying to make a connection To find a piece of the action Like a hungry poet Who doesn't know He is close to perfection Choice is the question Moonlight night After moonlight night Side by side They will see us ride But if they cared to look Then they would see It's our return to fantasy Fantasy, fantasy Can you understand That in every man There's a need to unwind That's never been defined Somewhere deep within There's another being You are somehow abusing By the person you're using Moonlight night After moonlight night Side by side They will see us ride But if they cared to look Then they would see It's just our return to fantasy Fantasy, fantasy Traveling faster than lightening Closer than ever before We can go on for you And take you nearer to The legend of mystery From the beginning of time Dreaming time dreaming We can return to The land of the good and the kind Time dreaming time dreaming Why don't you come to our party And open your minds In another place There's a newer face Like an unfinished painting Your creator is waiting The brush and pen describe What it is inside That will set your mind thinking While the others are sinking
