Woken up those New York mornings, shivering bones
Thinking out the airwell, her old brown stone
Closed empty kisses, marks time has 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 felt

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' name

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 grey skies
The rain has swept, the doves they nest, the gutters rise

The fog it spills into the hills, crawling out east
The windows weep, beside me my love she sleeps and now
Now have I found her
