Shangri-La Lyrics
[Intro]
(I'm getting out, I'm getting out)
[Verse 1]
Sitting here, waiting for
Someone calling at my door
Too bad, I'm getting out of love
[Verse 2]
What's the use of changing things?
Wonder what tomorrow brings?
Who knows? I'm getting out of love
[Chorus]
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude"
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Doo-da-da-doo-doo-doo
[Break]
(I'm getting out, I'm getting out)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Clouds roll by and hide the sun
Raindrops falling on everyone
So sad, I'm getting out of love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'm getting out, I'm getting out)
[Verse 1]
Sitting here, waiting for
Someone calling at my door
Too bad, I'm getting out of love
[Verse 2]
What's the use of changing things?
Wonder what tomorrow brings?
Who knows? I'm getting out of love
[Chorus]
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude"
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Doo-da-da-doo-doo-doo
[Break]
(I'm getting out, I'm getting out)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Clouds roll by and hide the sun
Raindrops falling on everyone
So sad, I'm getting out of love
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude"
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude" (Jude-y, baby!)
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
[Outro 1]
I'm getting out of love
(Where is my Shangri-La?)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-da-dey
(Where is my Shangri-La?)
I'm getting out of love
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro 2]
I will return
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La...
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude"
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
My Shangri-La has gone away
Fading like The Beatles on "Hey Jude" (Jude-y, baby!)
She seemed to drift out on the rain
That came in somewhere softly from the blue
[Outro 1]
I'm getting out of love
(Where is my Shangri-La?)
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-da-dey
(Where is my Shangri-La?)
I'm getting out of love
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Outro 2]
I will return
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La
(I will return)
I will return to Shangri-La...
