As Wise As A Serpent Testo

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.
