Home By Another Way - James Taylor[00:00:02]
Those magic men the Magi[00:00:12]
Some people call them wise[00:00:15]
Or Oriental even kings[00:00:19]
Well anyway those guys[00:00:22]
They visited with Jesus[00:00:25]
They sure enjoyed their stay[00:00:28]
Then warned in a dream of King Herod's scheme[00:00:32]
They went home by another way[00:00:35]
Yes they went home by another way[00:00:38]
Home by another way[00:00:41]
Maybe me and you can be wise guys too[00:00:44]
And go home by another way[00:00:48]
We can make it another way[00:00:52]
Safe home as they used to say[00:00:55]
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high[00:00:57]
And go home another way[00:01:00]
Steer clear of royal welcomes[00:01:10]
Avoid a big to-do[00:01:14]
A king who would slaughter the innocents[00:01:17]
Will not cut a deal for you[00:01:20]
He really really wants those presents[00:01:23]
He'll comb your camel's fur[00:01:26]
Until his boys announce they've found trace amounts[00:01:30]
Of your frankincense gold and myrth[00:01:33]
Time to go home by another way[00:01:36]
Home by another way[00:01:39]
You have to figure the Gods saying play the odds[00:01:42]
And go home by another way[00:01:45]
We can make it another way[00:01:50]
Safe home as they used to say[00:01:53]
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high[00:01:55]
And go home another way[00:01:58]
Home is where they want you now[00:02:10]
You can more or less assume that you'll be welcome in the end[00:02:15]
Mustn't let King Herod haunt you so[00:02:23]
Or fantasize his features when you're looking at a friend[00:02:28]
Well it pleasures me to be here[00:02:34]
And to sing this song tonight[00:02:37]
They tell me that life is a miracle[00:02:41]
And I figured that they're right[00:02:44]
But Herod's always out there[00:02:47]
He's got our cards on file[00:02:50]
It's a lead pipe cinch if we give an inch[00:02:53]
Old Herod likes to take a mile[00:02:57]
It's best to go home by another way[00:02:59]
Home by another way[00:03:03]
We got this far to a lucky star[00:03:06]
But tomorrow is another day[00:03:09]
We can make it another way[00:03:13]
Safe home as they used to say[00:03:17]
Keep a weather eye to the chart on high[00:03:19]
And go home another way[00:03:22]
