lyrics

LEANING BACK AND LAUGHING

Leaning back and laughing I’ve been slipping back into my dreams
I know I’m not in heaven, but that’s the way it seems
Angels came and got me and the chariot is speeding away
I’ve been gone too long now I’m home and planning to stay

Leaning back and laughing I’ve been easing into other times
I feel the snow a falling to the calling of tinkling chimes
But my chariot is gone so I think I’ll borrow the sleigh
I’ve been gone too long and now I’m home and planning to stay

Leaning back and laughing I’ve been falling down the well for hours
Baby I can’t stop so won’t you loan me your magical powers
Or throw to me a line and I think I can find my way
I’ve been gone too long, now I’m home and planning to stay

Leaning back and laughing on a lazy little afternoon
With my friends all around and my lover in the other room
Soon she’ll rise and come to me, she won’t need a thing to say
I’ve been gone too long and now I’m home
Planning to stay
