[Verse 1: Jorma Kaukonen & Grace Slick]
~#**************#~
Sometimes I feel like I am leavin life behind
~#**************#~
My hands are movin faster than the movin of my mind
~#**************#~
Thoughts and generations of my dreams are yet unborn
~#**************#~
I hope that I will find them ‘fore my movin gets too worn
~#**************#~
If only I can live to see the dawning of the dawn
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Jorma Kaukonen & Grace Slick]
~#**************#~
So we go on movin, tryin to make this image real
~#**************#~
Strainin every nerve, not knowing what we really feel
~#**************#~
Strainin every nerve and makin everybody see
~#**************#~
That what they read in the Rolling Stone has really come to be
~#**************#~
And tryin to avoid a taste of that reality
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Jorma Kaukonen & Grace Slick]
~#**************#~
On an early New York mornin, a mirror in the hall
~#**************#~
Showed to me a face I didnt know at all
~#**************#~
Lines were drawn around a pair of eyes that opened wide
~#**************#~
And when I looked into them I found nothin left inside
~#**************#~
So I walked into a little room that whistled like a sigh
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Jorma Kaukonen & Grace Slick]
~#**************#~
As dawn light closed around me know my head was still in gear
~#**************#~
Thinkin thoughts of playin more, singin loud and clear
~#**************#~
Tryin to reach a friend somewhere and make that person smile
~#**************#~
Maybe pull myself away from that old lonesome mile
~#**************#~
That often comes to haunt me in the mornin
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Jorma Kaukonen & Grace Slick]
~#**************#~
All my friends keep tellin me that it would be a shame
~#**************#~
To break up such a grand success and tear apart a name
~#**************#~
But all I know is what I feel whenever Im not playin
~#**************#~
Emptiness aint where its at, neithers feelin pain
~#**************#~
[Verse 5: Jorma Kaukonen & Grace Slick]
~#**************#~
Well now, what is gonna happen now is anybodys guess
~#**************#~
If I cant spend my time with love, I guess I need a rest
~#**************#~
Time is gettin late now and the sun is getting low
~#**************#~
My bodys getting tired of carryin anothers load
~#**************#~
And sunshines waitin for me a little further down the road
