Witching Hour (Stephen Stills)


People just don't seem to understand
Who is this person, he's just a man
He's seen it high, he's seen it low
Travelled miles he don't know

He's got the way, he's got the power
He got the reach, he'll never cower
He gonna tell you to tear down the tower
He'll make you pay in the witching hour

Imagination takes him far away today
Dreamin' up things he might write down someday
People come for it and then they can say
At least I'm not alone, somebody else has been that way

He's got the way, he's got the power
He got the reach, he'll never cower
He gonna tell you to tear down the tower
He'll make you pay in the witching hour

He gets so confused
When he knows he's being used
He's so easily abused
And it hurts him so

When Mr Dreamer comes up with a new light
To cast on something hidden deep in the night
Imagination can be painfully bright
Some people love him for it, others say he ain't got no right

He's got the way, he's got the power
He got the reach, he'll never cower
He gonna tell you to tear down the tower
He'll make you pay in the witching hour

He gets so confused
When he knows he's being used
He's so easily abused
And it hurts him, so
