Birds eye beckons
The sun sheds light on hills covered in green and gold
Roots music playin in my head got a
Mellow mood, sweet disposition yea
Watchin the blues swim by
As the riverboats pass
Under purple backdrop skies
Make that rum runner last
Mr. Robinson pour me a drink
Got a busy mind need some time to think
Let that westward wind come around and
Knock me out
And I will fly on home
With a tainted heart
As I lay on the beach and watch
The world fall apart
The Ocean Avenue breeze
Got a little bit o something makes me feel alive
Watch these dark clouds roll in
Lookin wayward at the New York City skyline
Gettin a feelin of hope and love and peace of mind
We let our worries drift away
As we lift up our minds
To the place where eagles like to play
And there aint no such thing as time
Got the Rum Runner Blues
I got the Rum Runner blues yea
The groovy Rum Runner blues
Got them Rum Runner blues

We 'aint alone
I feel quite stoned
As we walk on down the street
Feel your heartbeat as you
Run past the mom & pop shops
Turn the corner and you drop
To the floor
Feel the earth upon your back
A revelation in a three part phrase
Live, Love, and Laugh
These sandals on my feet
Torn and dirty
Tell the tale of the roads and the streets
That I've walked
Many miles
I've seen too many smiles to frown
So I get up and do your Turnaround
Yea, yea, yea
Do your turnaround
yea, yea, yea
Do your turnarond
And when the organ plays at my funeral
These wounds will heal
If we are not consumed by fear
Can we still hold the cross we bear?
On the wings of the Albatross that's hangin around my neck
I will be carried, eternal into freedom and sunsets
I will live a life that is wholesome and true
And when the organ plays at my funeral
These wounds will heal
If we are not consumed by fear
Can we still hold the cross we bear?

Stare into the night
And try to find our way home
We're so much bigger than we're given credit for
And so much smaller than we know
The seeds that you've sown
Have grown into sunflowers
And their roots run deeper than
The deepest threads of gold
The next road that you find
At the start of another turn
It's an ocean filled with fire that you must cross
We will walk on through the flames
Take it easy, take it slow
Take a breath now let it go
I will hold your heart someday
See there's this bird up in the clouds
And he's tellin me, "Man, you gotta see this for yourself -
When the setting sun collides with sea."
And the girl in the sand holdin my hand says why can't we just
break free, break free, break free
Take it easy, take it slow
Take a breath now let it go
I will hold your heart someday
On the beach there is a man under the stars
Watchin the waves crash, waves crash all night long
He is searchin for something, certain he'll find it
But what it is he may never never know.
Take it easy, take it slow
Take a breath now let it go
You will hold her heart someday
And I have faith inside my soul
But what I believe I do not know
Keep on livin for today
today, today, today
Take it easy, take it slow
Take a breath now let it go
I will hold your heart someday

The soft Atlantic breeze blows off the rolling waves
And leaves a hint of the ocean on her face
Upon a little dune with her toes beneath the sand
She watches as the water mixes with land
He was only seventeen a sharp-dressed cat in his worn out jeans
Dreams of california on his mind
She a petite little silhouette, got that typ of body gonna make me sweat
She'll be late-night baby all my life
Oh Bright Eyes
You changed the way I smile
No more lies
You make me whole tonight
She likes her cities bright and if he had his way she'd be the only light
To ever shine across his face
He takes her by the hand, leads her to the promised land yea
New York City's where she'll stay
Oh Bright Eyes
You changed the way I smile
No more lies
You make me whole tonight
Well now she's come and gone but she knows that she still lives on
In my heart and in this song
And you know it's been awhile since last I saw her broken smile but
It still keeps me up late at night
Oh Bright Eyes
You changed the way I smile
No more lies
You made me whole that night

She prefers to be below sea level
And she likes to go out dancin with the devil
On a friday night
And when I come up to her room
The window's open we can ride it to the moon
It's the only light
We seem to make or break this life
We don't have to fall by the wayside
A better girl I will not find
She builds me up then she blows my mind
Every single day
Puts up with crap for way too long
She's beautiful and her soul is stong
In every single way, yea
We seem to make or break this life
We don't have to fall by the wayside
Takes her iced coffee lite and sweet
And when she looks at me, lifts me off my feet
And cuts me right back down to size
And when the world stares back at her
It stops for a second, everything is pure
Inside almond eyes
We seem to make or break this life
We don't have to fall by the wayside
Can we talk about it?
Just you and I
And the moon and sky
Cuz I know you feel lost
And jaded but
The end will find us side by side
Slippin on to the inside
