Going for the One

Written by Jon Anderson
From album : Going for the One


Get the idea cross around the track
Underneath the flank of a thoroughbred racing chaser
Getting the feel as a river flows
Would you like to go n' shoot the mountain masses
And here you stand no taller than the grass sees
And should you really chase so hard
The truth of sport plays rings around you

Going for the one
Going for the one

Get in the way as the tons of water
Racing with you chasing thru the rudder
Once at the start can you gamble
That you really surely really mean to finish
After seeing all your sense of fear diminish
As you treat danger a pure collection
As you throw away misconceptions
Going for the one
Going for the one
Going for a listen in time
                    taken so high
                    to touch to move
                    listen to life
                    touching touch time
                    travel twilight
                    taken so high
Roundabout, sounding out, love you so
                                               love you so
                                               love you so

Now the verses I've sang
Don't' add much weight to the story in my head
So I'm thinking I should go and write a punch line
But they so hard to find
In my cosmic mind
So I think I'll take a look out of the window
When I think about you
I don't feel low
N'should I really chase so hard
The truth of sport plays rings around you
Going for the one
Going for the one
Going for to listen in time
                     taken so high
                     to touch to move
                     listen to life
                     Touching touchtime
                     travel twilight
                     taken so high
                     taking your time
                     turn on to love
                     turnstile to one
                     tender timing
                     rocking rolling
                     listen in time
                     taken so high
                     to touch to move
                     listen to life
                     touching touchtime
                     travel twilight
                     taken so high
                     taking your time
                     turn on to love
                     turnstile to one
                     tender timing
                     rocking rolling
                     turn on to love
                     turnstile to one
                     tender timing
                     rocking rolling

Moments decide
Moments delight
Moments in flight
Talk about sending love
