California Gold

from Scenes From Bellevue Park by Jacksonport

/

lyrics

I pull of on the shoulder towards my left hand
the ocean plays the boulders,
a one man band

tasting dusty driveways with my toes
a breeze that’s lounging sideways in comfy clothes

last night I awoke gasping for the last breath in the room
the kind that chokes and doesn’t let you back to sleep too soon
my love, she held me until daybreak
she said “if you know paradise, you’re bound to feel the earthquake”

smooth and painted freeway for fading stars
long enchanted byway in a used car

last night I awoke gasping for the last breath in the room
the kind that chokes and doesn’t let you back to sleep too soon
my love, she held me until daybreak
she said “if you know paradise, you’re bound to feel the earthquake”

kissed by California, soft and bold
promise of the morning is California Gold
