Got all my windows rolled down
KZSC painting the town
Over the hill, so corporate
Hey, that explains your discontent
South 17
Follow the trees to the seas
Turn off the latest bad news
Should be down in Santa Cruz
Over the hill, so desperate
Head to the coast like Steinbeck
South 17
Follow the trees to the seas

Hidden Beach

The fog is gone
Sun stretching
Over the hill they’re working
Dogs running ‘round
Kids playing
Everyone is smiling
Let’s go to Hidden Beach
Escape the creeping concrete
Let’s go to Hidden Beach
Escape the San Jose heat

Perfect day for
Sulking on the patio
Nowhere else you have to go
Without a mask
The sky is falling
A screaming match on TV
Drama for Hannity and elderly
Perfect day for
Sunshine bleeding on the Bay
Staring at the Monterey
Let’s get there fast

This Place of Wonder

|

|
Place of wonder all around
I’ll just wander all around
Put my ear down to the ground
Try to listen to every sound
Hey I’ll just wander
I’ll take the mound
This place of winder
Will I remember what I’ve found?

And the Hills Rejoice!

It’s just what happens way down here
You just might just overhear the hills rejoice
It’s just what happens, mystery
You just might just hear Her lovely voice
Can you feel the joy?
It’s just what happens way down here
You just might just overhear the hills rejoice

Watch the fog receding
Sunshine, taking claim
Redwoods, heaven-holding
You’ve always known my name

Watch the west expanding
On this tender landing
True, You’ve always known my name
Bay clouds, roll unfolding
Sun-kissed, green and golden
True, You’ve always known my name
Watch the fog receding
Cypress, sunshine bleeding
True, You’ve always known my name
Watch the west expanding
On this tender landing
True, You’ve always known my name

Maybe you’ve got no idea
Hey now I’ve got no idea
Take another second
Take another look
I’ll take a step inside your skin
I’ll wear your shoes
See where you’ve been
I could try to stretch some
I’ll try to bend
I’ll find some new clues
I’ll light a fuse
I’ll read the look on your face
Take in the Eucalyptus grace
I’ll peel each season
I’ll shed my skin

Rhyming Shadows
03:32
|

There you stood on the edge
You thought of jumping
Always were an actor anyway
You needed me to feel heroic, maybe
We all just need someone to save
Half expecting something
Half expecting nothing
Water breaking, summer healing time
Give and take, unbreaking
Half-awake, forsaking
Take a break
Our shadows always rhyme
Once you fell on your knees don’t you remember?
Shame fades to nothing over time
Easier to never feel the winter
Easier to never doubt your mind
Half expecting something
Half expecting nothing
Water breaking, summer healing time
Give and take, unbreaking
Half-awake, forsaking
Take a break
Our fates will always rhyme

Your Mystery
01:12
|

|
Takes my breath away
Sunshine bleeding on me
I can’t explain the tugging company
Don’t bury me underneath your benediction
Your mystery

Hostile Stairs
01:16
|
|||
|
Heaviest flowers
Just bury the hours
Might just bury me
These hostile stairs will
Carry me there still
Avoid all subtlety
The sad sun sank into its hole and
I could sink in mine
But stars are singing in my pockets
These stairs are worth the climb

Another Reunion
02:10

Heavy bad luck behind me
My shirt untucked
And I’m opened up
It seems like you will always find me
My feet are light
When we reunite
The sky suffused
A holy scarlet bruise
A cross, it’s true
My name you always knew
Heavy bad luck behind me
My shirt untucked
And I’m opened up
It seems like you will always find me
My feet are light
When we reunite
