On Pismo Beach
03:58

Cream-colored dreams, red sunrise
It's not what it seems, no long goodbyes
The world is turning, it’s time to go home
Be ever humble...
On Pismo Beach On Pismo Beach
Let your life flow, one with the sea
Fair-weathered friends won’t help you
Blow cosmic winds, obscure my view
The sky is crying, rain down tears of joy
Be ever blissful...
On Pismo Beach On Pismo Beach
Let your life flow, one with the sea
Poetic, psychedelic
Cool ocean breeze
You’re never far or out of reach
You can be found
On Pismo Beach On Pismo Beach
Let your love flow, one with the sea
On Pismo Beach On Pismo Beach
On Pismo Beach
Let your life flow, one with the sea

Aural Illusion
Aural Illusion
What you hear is what you get
It’s an aural illusion
Take a seat there’s so much to learn here
Your mind tells you you’re hearing things
Draw your own conclusion
Close your eyes there’s nothing to see here
But there’s something to hear
And it’s magic to my ears
Yeah there’s something so clear
It’ll bring you close to tears
Aural Illusion
Aural Illusion
Take a trip through inner space
It’s an aural illusion
Free your mind there’s so much to feel here
If your style is visual
Find your own solution
Move along there’s nothing to see here
But there’s something to hear
And it’s magic to my ears
Yeah there’s something sure to please
It can bring you to your knees
If you can believe that music is love
Then you’ll understand the meaning of
Aural Illusion
Aural Illusion
What you hear is what you get

Solar Fields

Lay by my side
In the solar fields
Your arms open wide
In the solar fields
With the sun on your face
You will never be afraid
In the bright glowing light
You can’t fail
You can always confide
In the solar fields
Let your conscience be your guide
In the solar fields
With the sun on your face
You will never fade away
In the bright glowing light
You won't fail
Lay down your pride
In the solar fields
Let your conscience be your guide
In the solar fields
The solar fields
The solar fields
Solar fields

Take me down the road
I’m bound to follow
Take me down the road
I’m bound to follow
You say you have an easy day tomorrow
So take me down the road
I’m bound to follow
Take me all the way
We can leave today
Take me down the road
I’m bound to follow
Take me down the road
I’m bound to follow
You say you have an easy day tomorrow
So take me down the road
I’m bound to follow
Take me all the way
We can leave today
Time to explore
Open up the door
Take me down the road (Follow)
Take me down the road (Follow)

For Weal And For Woe
03:30
|

For weal and for woe
For weal and for woe
Above and below
For weal and for woe
The hills and the plains
We all know their names
Our lives ebb and flow
For weal and for woe
Gone are the days that came before
Weal and woe
For weal and for woe
For weal and for woe
For weal and for woe

L.A. County
04:13
|

Long dark hair and tempting amber eyes
She broke through the mist like moonlit skies
I picked her up in L.A. County
She was born in L.A. County
On the outskirts of L.A. County
She will spend her life there
Windswept days and stone cold nights I’ve seen
She came to me as if in a dream
I’m going back to L.A. County
She is waiting in L.A. County
On the outskirts of L.A. County
We will live our lives here
I picked her up in L.A. County (on the run)
Hitchin' a ride in L.A. County (desert sun)
On the outskirts of L.A. County
We will spend our lives here
Gonna stay in L.A. County (all our days)
Settle down in L.A. County (find our way)
On the outskirts of L.A. County
We will live our lives here
L.A. County
L.A. County
L.A.

Skywriting
04:07
|
|||
Sat down to write a song, here it goes
I’ll pull notes right out of the clear blue sky
I suppose
I’ll search the stars above and below
Wonderin’ where I will find inspiration
Words don’t flow
But I’ll try to do my best
Hope my muse will do the rest
It’s like magic when songs appear, I confess
Guess I’m just Skywriting, yeah I’m just Skywriting
Out of thin air, precious and rare
I am a vehicle on this cosmic ride
Beamed down from heaven or some strange place
Deep inside
Music rings vapor trails ‘round my soul
How else can I explain how it feels to be whole
And I’ll try to do my best
Ask my muse to do the rest
It’s like magic when songs appear, I feel blessed
Ohh Skywriting, yeah I’m just Skywriting
Out of thin air, precious and rare
Ohh Skywriting, Ohh Skywriting
Out of thin air, precious and rare
Skywriting Skywriting (From the stars above, to the ground below)
Skywriting Skywriting (Music in my heart, music in my soul)

Your Mind's Eye
03:56
|

You find yourself
Inside your mind
You find yourself
Inside a dream, a dream
You can journey through your life
You can see through your mind's eye
Your mind’s eye
You find yourself
Inside a cloud
You find yourself
Within a dream, a dream
You will journey through your life
You will see through your mind's eye
Your mind’s eye
You find yourself inside a cloud
You find yourself within
A dream
A dream
A dream

Kingsville
04:29
|
|||
Don’t go down to Kingsville
You never know what you’ll find there
If you’re going
Heed the path you take
Roads creep into Kingsville
Yet they lead you nowhere
If you’re going
Don’t you lose your way this time
Oh, I wish you well though it’s unclear
Why you would go
Lest you cannot find what you want here
It’s only a short walk to Kingsville, Kingsville
If you’re going
Heed the path you take
And I wish you well but it’s unclear
Why you would leave
If you cannot find what you want here
It’s only a short walk to Kingsville
Oh, I wish you well though it’s unclear
Why you would go
Lest you cannot find what you need here
It’s only a short walk
It’s only a short walk to Kingsville, Kingsville
It’s only a short walk
It’s only a short walk to Kingsville, Kingsville

Same Sky
04:39
|

Walking under the same sky
With you on the other side of the world
Walking under the same blue sky
As you
Walking under the same sky
With you in another part of the world
Walking under the same blue sky
As you
But I can’t see you
I can’t see you
I wish that I could hold you
But I can’t even see you right now
Walking under the same moon
The light shining down on us through the dark
Walking under the same bright moon
As you
But I can’t see you
I can’t see you
I wish that I could feel you
But I can’t even see you right now
Walking under the same sky
With you in another part of the world
Walking under the same blue sky
As you
But I can’t see you
I can’t see you
I wish that I could be with you
But I can’t even see you
Right now, Right now

One Big Hideaway
04:19
|
|||
I lay in bed
And watch the world spin round and round
Voices in my head
They make an eerie sound
My home is one big hideaway
My room is one big hideaway
I feel safe with the lights down low
Time ticks away
Don’t have the strength to go outside
So here I’ll lay
The covers pulled up high
My bed is one big hideaway
My drugs are one big hideaway
I feel safe with the curtains drawn
I miss my brothers
Cousin and mother, but I’m still
Bugged at my ol' man
I know he never meant to hurt me
It isn’t what the voices tell me
I know it wasn’t his plan
My home is one big hideaway
My room is one big hideaway
My bed is one big hideaway
My drugs are one big hideaway
I feel safe in the TV glow

Footnote
04:49
|
|||
Just passing through
On my way to obscurity
Songs reappear
That no one will ever hear
Memories fade, then they disappear
And I’m content to be
I won’t pretend I’m anything, but a
Footnote in history
There once was a time
When I had my day in the sun
Bells they would ring
Like songs no one else can sing
This I know, reveals everything
Now I’m content to be
I won’t pretend I’m anything, but a
Footnote
Yeah I was meant to be
I don’t believe I’m anything, but a
Footnote, Footnote in musical history
A Footnote, Footnote
(Fifteen minutes to go until the end of the show)
A Footnote, Footnote
(Fifteen minutes to go until the end of the show)
A Footnote, A Footnote
(Fifteen minutes to go until the end of the show)
