C Am D C G Can a man ever live that way again? G The old windmill made a groan C G As it turned around to face the cold of the night G The proof of all existence C G Crackled warm in the flickering firelight C And the stars were so perfect A7 C That I wondered might this all just be a dream G C G Could this all-alone place really be as magic as it seems? C Am C Can a man ever go back home again? C Am D G Can a man ever live that way again? From Flying Again Columbia Records
