The Lookahead

I go back to the water

When I get nowhere in the air

I thought you should know, it's no worse

Covering ground you've heard before



It's a power of, power of, power of

Power of free and easy

It's a power of, power of, power of

Power of free and easy



You weigh a snowflake

Cause great trees to fall

Descending

On perfect arms

Like Jeff Beck

To give me the lookahead



I go back to the brusque nurse

Her heart a bad cake in a melting box

I thought you should know, it's no worse

Her blood is still clear and sanguineous



It's a power of, power of, power of

Power of free and easy

It's a power of, power of, power of

Power of free and easy



You weigh a snowflake

The glamour of the sky

Descending

Past perfect eyes

And hearts leapt

To give me the lookahead

Come on, honey

Just give me that lookahead
