Lucky Man

Woken up those New York mornings

Shivering bones

Thinking how the air welled up

Her old brown stone

Close down to kiss her

Marks time past flown

So hard to find it in us to leave these dreams

To leave these dreams

Growing up Ohio mornings sleeping in late

Ducking out the window

The school I hate

Listening to my mother talking

With her neighbourhood friends

Underneath the drone guitar of lucky man

Stranded out those Florida beaches

Poor as a joke

Sails fly in Merritt Islands

Lazy blue coast

Cool refrains of ocean rain

Echo off of my head

Celebrated summer friends and brothers

The freedom we fell

And you're what I remember

Shining down the L A highways

Glorious sun

Far from you from my home

And everyone I love

Sinking in the shallow end of her infinite pools

Silver lakes and palisades and Malibu

Woken up those lost young mornings

Somewhere in Spain

I couldn't say the towns I slept

My lovers' names

Pouring in on Sunday

Heaven's church bell rang

I didn't know my purpose

Til I stood and sang

For crowds of passing faces

Woken up to this new Aprils sleepy gray skies

The rain has swept the dust that left

The gutters rise

The fog it spills into the hills

Crawling out East

The windows weep

Beside me now though she sleeps and I

Now have I found her
