My Shangri-la has gone away,
Faded like the Beatles on Hey Jude
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue.

At the end of the day I have to please myself. And I've made a record to please myself.

It's a livin' thing.
It's a terrible thing to lose.
It's a given thing.
What a terrible thing to lose.

A New World Record (1976)

I've got a ticket to the moon.
I'll be leaving here any day soon

Time (1981)

I like the natural sound of a room. All the rooms have their own sound, so it's a matter of putting it where you like and seeing what it sounds like.

As I gaze around at these strangers in town, I guess the only stranger is me.
As I see what they've done to this place that was home, shame is all that I feel.

Time (1981)
