We drank a toast to innocence, We drank a toast to now. We tried to look beyond the emptiness but neither one knew how. Stopped into a church I passed along the way. Well I got down on my knees and I began to pray. You know the preacher likes the cold. He knows I'm gonna stay. California dreamin' on such a winters day. I met a girl who sang the blues. I asked her for some happy news, she just smiled and turned away. I went down to the sacred store where I heard the music years before but the man there said the music wouldn't play. And in the streets the children screamed, the lovers cried and the poets dreamed but not a word was spoken. The church bells all were broken and the three men I admire the most. The father son and holy ghost. They caught the last train for the coast. The day the music died.... Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care? If so I can't imagine why. We all have rime enough to cry.... In restless dreams I walk alone. Narrow streets of cobblestone. Neath the halo of a streetlamp. I turn my collar to the cold and damp. When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night and touched the sound of silence.... He's a one trick pony. One trick is all that horse can do. He does one trick only. It's the principal source of his revenue.... He's got this dream about buyin' some land. He's gonna give up the booze and the one night stands and then he'll settle down in a quiet little town and forget about everything. Now I understand what you tried to say to me. How you suffered for your sanity. How you tried to set them free. They would not listen, they did not know how. Perhaps they'll listen now? I'm not talking bout movin' in and I don't wanna change your life. But there's a warm wind blowin and the stars are out and I'd really love to see you tonight.... Rock me gently, Rock me slowly. take it easy and don't you know that I just wanna make love to you tonight.... Billy don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life. Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife. And as Billy started to go she said Billy keep your head low. Billy don't be a hero, come back to me. Do you like Pina Coloda's, getting caught in the rain. If you're not into yoga and you have half a brain. If you like making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape. I'm the love that you looked for, write to me and escape.... I got your name from a friend of a friend who said he used to work with you. Remember the all night creature from stereo 92. Yeah I said could you relate to a quarter track tape you know the band performs in the nude. He said Uh Uh don't call us child we'll call you. Now that I've lost everything to you you say you wanna start something new and it's breaking my heart you're leaving. But if you want to leave, take good care. Hope you have alot of nice things to wear. But then alot of nice things turn bad out there The tax man's taken all my dough and left me in my stately home. Lazing on a sunny afternoon and I can't sail my yacht, He's taken everything I've got. All I've got's this sunny afternoon. Tree's swaying in the summer breeze showin' off their winter leaves as we walked. Soft kisses on a summer day. Laughing all your cares away. Just you and I. They say that all good things must end some day. Autumn leaves must fall but don't you know that it hurts me so to say goodbye to you, wish you didn't have to go....No,no, no, no Girl, You really got me goin'. You got me so I don't know what I'm doin' now. Yeah, you really got me now. You got me so I can't sleep at night. You really got me now.... There's a man who lives a life of danger. To everyone he meets he stays a stranger. With every move he makes another chance he takes Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow. Secret agent man, secret agent man. They've given you a number and taken away your name.... I told her that I was a flop with chicks. It's been that way since 1956 she looked at my palm and she made a magic sign. She said what you need is Love Potion #9. The summer wind, came a blowing in across the sea.It lingered there and touched hair and walked with me. All summer long we sang our song and then we strolled that golden sand. Two sweethearts and the summer wind. |
