  • If you're looking for a place
    You can fly together
    And you're really afraid of
    What you're leaving behind
    Take the easiest road
    But take care my brother
    For you'll never find peace
    With a troubled mind

    Far better to love each other
    Than to worry so deeply
    â??Bout the place you're in
    And far better to kiss her softly
    Than lookin' back on a love
    You'll never have again

    Time's as fickle as
    The sky in winter
    And two hearts always
    Were better than one
    Love has the wings
    Of a tireless angel
    She'll stay beside you
    Till the day is done

    La la la la la

    You'll never have again
    No no no, never again
    You'll never have again Writer/s: KEN HENSLEY

  • Lenny K from Edison, NjThis is a beautiful song that really hits home with me. However, I have to disagree with Songfacts' interpretation of the Lyrics. To me, it's about a person moving on in life with another person after losing a very special loved one - possibly to death.
  • Joe from Rochester, NyMy favorite Uriah Heep ballad. It really sets a mood.
