Home By Another Way - James Taylor

Those magic men the Magi

Some people call them wise

Or Oriental even kings

Well anyway those guys

They visited with Jesus

They sure enjoyed their stay

Then warned in a dream of King Herod's scheme

They went home by another way

Yes they went home by another way

Home by another way

Maybe me and you can be wise guys too

And go home by another way

We can make it another way

Safe home as they used to say

Keep a weather eye to the chart on high

And go home another way

Steer clear of royal welcomes

Avoid a big to-do

A king who would slaughter the innocents

Will not cut a deal for you

He really really wants those presents

He'll comb your camel's fur

Until his boys announce they've found trace amounts

Of your frankincense gold and myrth

Time to go home by another way

Home by another way

You have to figure the Gods saying play the odds

And go home by another way

We can make it another way

Safe home as they used to say

Keep a weather eye to the chart on high

And go home another way

Home is where they want you now

You can more or less assume that you'll be welcome in the end

Mustn't let King Herod haunt you so

Or fantasize his features when you're looking at a friend

Well it pleasures me to be here

And to sing this song tonight

They tell me that life is a miracle

And I figured that they're right

But Herod's always out there

He's got our cards on file

It's a lead pipe cinch if we give an inch

Old Herod likes to take a mile

It's best to go home by another way

Home by another way

We got this far to a lucky star

But tomorrow is another day

We can make it another way

Safe home as they used to say

Keep a weather eye to the chart on high

And go home another way
