[Intro]

[Verse 1: George Harrison]
I've wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands
I was lost in the night with no sight of you
And at times it was so blue and lonely
Heading for the light

[Verse 2]
Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails
I've rolled and I've tumbled through the roses and the thorns
And I couldn't see the sign that warned me
I'm heading for the light

[Chorus 1: Jeff Lynne & George Harrison]
Ooh - I didn't see that big black cloud hanging over me
And when the rain came down I was nearly drowned
I didn't know the mess I was in

[Verse 3]
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling
As I'm heading for the light

[Saxophone solo]
[Chorus 2]
Ooh - my hands were tied
Jokers and fools on either side
But still I kept on till the worst had gone
Now I see the hole I was in

[Verse 4]
My shoes are wearing out from walking down this same highway
I don't see nothing new but I feel a lot of change
And I get the strangest feeling
As I'm heading for the light

[Verse 5]
I see the sun ahead, I ain't never looking back
All the dreams are coming true as I think of you
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light

[Tag]
Now there's nothing in the way to stop me
Heading for the light

[Outro]
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Woah oh oh
Heading for the light
