California Sunrise
03:14
|
|||
The morning sun is shining
There ain't a cloud in the sky
Today is gonna go all right
It's a California sunrise
I'm passing out at midnight
Tomorrow's gonna be my time
Wake up in time to see the light
Of a California sunrise
There's innocence writ large upon the face of this, our new beginning
A whole new world, a whole new life, to lead and to live
It's gonna go right this time, I can feel it in the air and in my heart
Gotta trust it's gonna work out in the end
The morning sun is shining
There ain't a cloud in the sky
Today is gonna go all right
It's a California sunrise
I'm passing out at midnight
Tomorrow's gonna be my time
Wake up in time to see the light
Of a California sunrise
The weeks are hard, the weekends worse, and if I care about the Earth it hurts
We persevere, we'll see it through, what else are we supposed to do?
The nights are dark, the hearts they break, don't know how much more I can take
But together we can face it all
The morning sun is shining
There ain't a cloud in the sky
Today is gonna go all right
It's a California sunrise
I'm passing out at midnight
Tomorrow's gonna be my time
Wake up in time to see the light
Of a California sunrise
The morning sun is shining
There ain't a cloud in the sky
Today is gonna go all right
It's a California sunrise
I'm passing out at midnight
Tomorrow's gonna be my time
Wake up in time to see the light
Of a California sunrise
The morning sun is shining
There ain't a cloud in the sky
Today is gonna go all right
It's a California sunrise
I'm passing out at midnight
Tomorrow's gonna be my time
Wake up in time to see the light
Of a California sunrise
I'm passing out at midnight
Tomorrow's gonna be my time
Wake up in time to see the light
Of a California sunrise

The Day May Come
03:40
|

Call me Ishmael, I'll sail the seas for you
Call me Orpheus, I'd walk through hell for you
With only a lyre and a spear, I'll brave the deep
So the night will fall and you can sleep
I'm the Paris to your Helen of Troy
But I hope that you don't read through to the end
When the fates come and knock on the door
And the ship it will sink
And she's gone in a blink
And I'm just another number of war
And the day may come when I drift out to sea
And there's nothing left that I can do
Oh, give me a voice
I'll say that I made a choice
And it's only what I'd do for you
But I hope that you don't read through to the end
When the fates come and knock on the door
And the ship it will sink
And she's gone in a blink
And I'm just another number of war
And the day may come when I drift out to sea
And there's nothing left that I can do
Oh, give me a voice
I'll say that I made a choice
And it's only what I'd do for you

Can't Shake The Feeling
06:10
|

Can't shake the feeling
I done something I should not have done
Yeah yeah
Oh, I can't shake the feeling
I said something I should not have said
Yeah yeah
And I'll try to make some sense of it all
While I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall
And I can't shake the feeling
That I've never been so wrong
We were made for each other
I can see it every day
Your beauty stands up in the sunlight
I'm enraptured by your face
These lies and others that I tell myself
Just so I can make it through the day
Will I stand up and face my own reality?
Or will I hide my face and hope it goes away?
'Cause I can't shake the feeling
I done something I should not have done
Yeah yeah
Oh, I can't shake the feeling
I said something I should not have said
Yeah yeah
And I'll try to make some sense of it all
While I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall
And I can't shake the feeling
That I've never been so wrong
In this sea you are my lifeline
We will hold each other from the fall
Always on the brink of destruction
But together we can stand and face it all
I tank the hits for you daily
Doing all I can to keep us safe
The promise is that someday this will all be worth the pain
But somehow that day it seems so far away
Cause I can't shake the feeling
I done something I should not have done
Yeah yeah
Oh, I can't shake the feeling
I said something I should not have said
Yeah yeah
And I'll try to make some sense of it all
While I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall
And I can't shake the feeling
That I've never been so wrong
Can't shake the feeling
I done something I should not have done
Yeah yeah
Oh, I can't shake the feeling
I said something I should not have said
Yeah yeah
And I'll try to make some sense of it all
While I'm waiting for the other shoe to fall
And I can't shake the feeling
That I've never been so wrong

Isle In The Sea
05:03
|
|||
Oh, I've sailed away to an isle in the sea
Where I can forget my woes
I'll soak up the sun till the night has begun
And go running with the sand between my toes
Now back on the main, what awaits me is pain
Under storm clouds of doom and gray
But I'll savor the time that there's reason and rhyme
What I searched for when I sailed away
Here the end of the world is the waves on the shore
And the start is the sun in the sky
And once all aboard, leave your worries at the door
'Cause we don't want to bring down the vibe
Oh, I've sailed away to an isle in the sea
Where I can forget my woes
I'll wax up my board, leave my shirt on the shore
Paddle out get up and go with the flow [surf rock guitar lick]
Now back on the main, what awaits me is pain
Under storm clouds of doom and gray
But I don't have to face with that cold, stiff embrace
For at least another couple of days
Here the end of the world is the waves on the shore
And the start is the sun in the sky
And once all aboard, leave your worries at the door
'Cause we don't want to bring down the vibe
Oh, I've sailed away to an isle in the sea
Where I can forget my woes
I'll soak up the sun till the night has begun
And go running with the sand between my toes
Now back on the main, what awaits me is pain
Under storm clouds of doom and gray
But I'll savor the time that there's reason and rhyme
What I searched for when I sailed away

Lost My Way To Paradise
03:40
|
|||
I lost my way tonight
On my way to you
And it felt so right
And who knows where I've gone
When the sunrise comes along
I don't mean to run away
From this life that's leading me
But don't try and tell me that everything's fine
I'm a long way from paradise
I'm riding home tonight
High above the clouds
In the pale moonlight
City sprawls along the bay
Like a parasite grows on its prey
I hear the traffic roar
And the wind, it blows so cold
Oh, the streetlights, they glow and they block out the stars
And I'm a long way from paradise
I never wanted to hurt you
So I let you hurt me instead
And I drove my body til my heart couldn't feel
And that made it all right in my head
And as the walls come crashing down
And my home becomes my hell
I can't believe
I ever thought
I could let you stay
I'm all alone tonight
And I lie in bed
Staring at the sky
The moon's tranquility
It keeps my hope alive
It's time to start again
On a life that I can lead
Oh, and maybe I'll see you on some sunny day
Such a long way from paradise

And I'll run until the world seems sane
And I'll suffer 'til I don't feel the pain
Feel the scars from all that I've been through
The winding road that brought me close to you
You can run your hands along my arms and down my knees and feel all the places where I've been knocked around
The time I ran into a mailbox, or ate a sidewalk paving stone, or flubbed a stage dive and broke my nose, or how my right foot don't line up so straight no more
Less obvious to the naked eye are the words that I have heard, the impressions that mankind has left on me
Such images of cruelty, miscarriages of justice, it's enough to make a saner man give up and walk away
But in my heart
There's still a part
Of me that thinks
We can be saved
And I will fight
Through the darkest night
And maybe we
Can reach the dawn
So I'll run until the world seems sane
And I'll suffer 'til I don't feel the pain
Feel the scars from all that I've been through
The winding road that brought me close to you
And I'll run until the world seems sane
And I'll suffer 'til I don't feel the pain
Feel the scars from all that I've been through
The winding road that brought me close to you
And I'll run until the world seems sane
And I'll suffer 'til I don't feel the pain
Feel the scars from all that I've been through
The winding road that brought me close to you
Feel the scars from all that I've been through
The winding road that brought me close to you
