Then as it was, then again it will be An' though the course may change sometimes Rivers always reach the sea Flyin' skys of fortune, each have separate ways On the wings of maybe, downy birds of prey Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to go But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's alright with me In the midst I think of you, and how it used to be

oh darlin'

thank you

@TheKooster - Sorry, but "Blind stars of fortune, Each have several rays" is indeed correct.Beautiful lyric. Plus "grow" not "go" the first time.

I'd like to see you do Kashmir, tho. There is one line EVERYONE gets wrong. It's truly amazing. I'm not saying it isn't hard to kin- it is. But the fact NO ONE gets it right blows my mind....
