Lights Over Lake Piru

Long walk and bright lights
under the satellite
here we go once again
the same old song for all of my friends
bright lights over Lake Piru
long shadows across my room
bright lights over Lake Piru
late nights and heart attacks
a monkey on my back
long walk and bright lights
under the satellite
here we go once again
the same old song for all of my friends
bright lights over Lake Piru
long shadows across my room
bright lights over Lake Piru
bright lights over Lake Piru
long shadows across my room
bright lights over Lake Piru

I thought I saw you're shadow on the wall
it looked just like a ghost but I don't believe in ghost
I'll stand outside and enjoy the fresh air
but it is the days' last cigarette so I'll step back inside
your dirty clothes are still left on the floor
and your plants are without water and your coat still by the door
sometimes I wonder, I wonder where you were
when I needed you last night and the many nights before
oh marble castle, empty home
oh wooden ship where do you roam?
I won't try to deny you your own
I thought I heard your keys at the door
your footsteps on the porch, the voice that I adore
but it's too late, the time has passed
the memory's getting old now, your life was gone too fast
I still sleep on my side of the bed
I lay next to your pillow and rest my weary head
oh I'll never forget when we thought we'd never grow old
but now look at what's left
oh marble castle, empty home
oh wooden ship where do you roam?
I won't try to deny you your own
oh marble castle, empty home
oh wooden ship where do you roam?
I won't try to deny you your own

Drowning Lessons

I never almost forgot
how to breathe
you had me on
my hands and knees
When I saw you walk in
through that door
God himself couldn't tell me
what I was in for
Oh mama get me out of here
I was stuck like a deer in the headlights
and if I'm saved now then I might
leave this place calm and clear
I never asked
for drowning lessons
you left me in
poor condition
I'm just hoping
to stay afloat
yeah I'm just trying
to learn how to float
Oh mama get me out of here
I was stuck like a deer in the headlights
and if I'm saved now then I might
leave this place calm and clear

Mr. Morning Sun
how you look so young
thank you for the hummingbirds
who sing their song
In the afternoon
when your skies are shaded
orange and blue
and all I feel is gratitude
Mrs. Moon, my love
floating high above
the great, big world
and you kiss the sun
on its' way up
once the night has turned
It's such a beautiful world
it's such a beautiful sun up in the sky
and all the planets do a beautiful twirl
it's such a beautiful thing to be alive
Where the mountains end
and the sky begins
I see heaven in the far
with all my friends
And the clouds up high
looking fine and fun
and maybe absurd
but I'll turn your clouds
into whatever I prefer
It's such a beautiful world
it's such a beautiful sun up in the sky
and all the planets do a beautiful twirl
it's such a beautiful thing to be alive
