   The golden light about you --         show me where you're from
   The magic in your eye bewitches --    all you gaze upon
   You stand up on your hill and --      behop all around you
   They wonder where you're from oh --   they wonder where I found you

I tried to understand you, --         I tried to love you right

verse 3:
You're racing like a fireball --     dancing like a ghost
You're gemini and I don't know which one I like the most

Oh my love it's a long way   Where you're from it's a long way
