Looking Into You Kevin Welch

[Verse 1]
Well I looked into a house I once lived in
Around the time I first went on my own
When the roads were as many as the places I had dreamed of
And my friends and I were one
Now the distance is done
Yeah the search has begun
I've come to see where my beginnings have gone

[Verse 2]
Well the walls and the windows were still standing
And the music could be heard at the door
Where the people who kindly endured my odd questions
Asked if I'd come very far
And when my silence replied
Well they took me inside
Where their children sat playing on the floor

[Bridge]
Well we spoke of the changes that would find us farther on
And it left me so warm and so high
But as I stepped back outside to the gray morning sun
I heard that highway whisper and sigh
Are you ready to fly?

[Verse 3]
And I looked into the faces all passing by
It's an ocean that will never be filled
And the house that grows older and finally crumbles
That even love cannot rebuild
Well it's a hotel at best
You're here as a guest
You oughta make yourself at home
While you're waiting for the rest
