Well I took my lady to the top of a mountain We hung our feet over all creation And we agreed that the sight was beautiful And we agreed that tomorrow it'd be a memory And as far as we could see was all that we could be But the land had seen lovers come and go Life is where you are She said think about the greatest day in your life A day you were longing for the sun to rise You said hey this is life I've been looking for And you groaned as the shadows fell on the floor And up on that mountain we saw our days Rise like a vapour and float away Life is where you are Talking about L I F E Think of all the times think of all the times When you've dreamed of being somebody somewhere in another time And you closed your eyes and been swallowed by sleep And your secret desires they rise from the deep You say I wish I was somebody someone else 'Cause life looks real from where they are Life is where you are Talking about L I F E We're all looking for security It's the basic drug of human need I've lost faith in things that fade Or things that get stolen or get taken away And up on that mountain we saw our days Rise like a vapour and float away Life is where you are Talking about L I F E
