[Verse 1]
Light as a feather, take to the air
Light as a feather, floating
Light as a feather, floating on air
I'll take you there
I'll take you there, I'll go with you
Down by the banks of green like we used to do
Down in the shadows of the banks below
If your heart says "Yes," I won't say "No"
I'll take you there

[Verse 2]
Places you've forgotten you know
Lost in the shuffle of long ago
Sun, moon, seashells, wind in your hair
I'll take you there, floating on air
I'll take you there
I'll take you there, I'll go with you
Dream the original dream like we used to do
Under the moonlight on a night so rare
Just say the word, I'll take you there
I'll take you there

[Chorus]
Just say the word
If your heart says "Yes," I won't say "No"
Oh, I'll take you there
Down in the shadows of the banks, of the banks below
When you're ready to go
I'll take you there, up in the air
Down low, slow, not quick
Down in the shadows, it's so slow

[Verse 3]
Let me know when you're ready to go
You've been a long time thinking
The wind in the sails is billowing slow
And the sun is sinking
I'll take you home, I'll take you there
With the tree frogs singing love's old sweet song
In the cool green air
Could be tragic, it could be hell
But you never know, it might turn out well
I'll take you there

[Verse 4]
So many places pull at your heart
But you never could afford the fare
Rip those picture postcards apart
I'll take you there, floating on air, hmm
Take you along where the music's playing
The words to the song are all we're saying
Scrub our hearts 'til the love shines through
When you're ready to go, I'll go with you
I'll take you there

[Chorus]
Just say the word
If your heart says "Yes," I won't say "No"
Oh, I'll take you there
Down in the shadows of the banks, of the banks below
When you're ready to go
I'll take you there, up in the air
Down low, slow, not quick
Down in the shadows, it's so slow

[Bridge]
Where it begins in the port of the skies
Recognition gleams from a stranger's eyes
Light as a feather, floating on air
Will of the wind, I'll take you there
Take you there

[Verse 5]
Don't know nothing, more than a few
Who know too much and nothing's true
Seen it all and they still don't care
I'll take you there
I'll take you there in the breath of a song
Banish despair for a moment or two if not for long
The solution to hate is a personal thing
A melody played on just one string
But it takes you there

[Chorus]
Just say the word
If your heart says "Yes," I won't say "No"
I'll take you there
Down in the shadows of the banks, of the banks below
When you're ready to go
While the wind, while the wind is billowing, billowing slow
I'll take you there
If your heart says "Yes," I won't say "No"
I'll take you there

[Outro]
I'll take you there
