Crosby & Nash Spotlight lyrics

How come you ask me what I'm doing here
With my guitar in hand
I'm at the microphone stand
I think the reason should be very clear
You see the spotlight it's for a good night

Something happens to you
And the same thing happens to me
So if I sing about the places that you've been to
You can see them once again through me
But it's only me

So if you catch me handing you a line

Please forgive me, oh but let me be
I've got to do it almost all the time
It fills a big hole in my young soul

Something happens to you, yeah, yeah
You see, the same thing happens to me
So if I sing about the places that you've been to
You can see them once again through me
But it's only me, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
