Crystal Gayle – ‘Til I Gain Control Again Lyrics

 

Just like the sun over the mountain top

You know I’ll always come again

You know I like to spend my morning time

Like sunlight dancing on your skin

 

I’ve never gone so wrong as for telling lies to you

What you’ve seen is what I’ve been

And there is nothing I can hide from you

You see me better than I can

 

Out on the road that lies before me now

There are some turns where I will spin

I only hope that you can hold me now

Til I can gain control again

 

Like a lighthouse you must stand alone

Landmark a sailor’s journey’s end

No matter what seas I’ve been sailing on

I’ll always roll your way again
