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
