We lie, under a lavender sky Under a lavender sky we lie Do you, do you remember the day? Do you remember when we felt that way? Free to play, as a child we ran Through fields of clover Underneath the sun Back there, both of us without a care Leaves of many colors blown through the air Free to play, as a child we ran Through fields of clover Reaching for the sun Ill count twenty-five (No fair, cover your eyes!) Go on, run and hide (You'll never find me!) We lie, under a lavender sky Under a lavender sky we lie Do you, do you remember the day? Do you remember when we felt that way? Free to play, running circles round the place we found that no one ever knew Ill count twenty-five (No fair, cover your eyes!) Go on, run and hide (You'll never find me!) Find me Find me Find me

We lie, under a lavender sky
Under a lavender sky we lie
Do you, do you remember the day?
Do you remember when we felt that way?

Free to play, as a child we ran
Through fields of clover
Underneath the sun

Back there, both of us without a care
Leaves of many colors blown through the air

Free to play, as a child we ran
Through fields of clover
Reaching for the sun

Ill count twenty-five
(No fair, cover your eyes!)
Go on, run and hide
(You'll never find me!)

We lie, under a lavender sky
Under a lavender sky we lie
Do you, do you remember the day?
Do you remember when we felt that way?

Free to play, running circles round
the place we found
that no one ever knew

Ill count twenty-five
(No fair, cover your eyes!)
Go on, run and hide
(You'll never find me!)
Find me
Find me
Find me

Oh... She is the One!
She's the One!
Oh... She is the One!
I just got to get to know that Girl!

Walk through the field Sat in a tree I love you You don't love me Pick up a gun Shoot the TV I want you You don't want me That's Ok, I don't give a damn Stood on a hill Only to scream I knew you You never knew me That's ok, nothings for free I never want to see your face again Got in my car Drove down the street I miss you You don't miss me Back in my room Alone in the dark Can't find you I can't find me That's ok, I can't feel a thing That's ok, I can't feel a thing I never want to see your face again I never want to see your face again

Walk through the field
Sat in a tree
I love you
You don't love me

Pick up a gun
Shoot the TV
I want you
You don't want me

That's Ok, I don't give a damn

Stood on a hill
Only to scream
I knew you
You never knew me

That's ok, nothings for free
I never want to see your face again

Got in my car
Drove down the street
I miss you
You don't miss me

Back in my room
Alone in the dark
Can't find you
I can't find me

That's ok, I can't feel a thing
That's ok, I can't feel a thing
I never want to see your face again
I never want to see your face again

Julia, were so glad you found the time (We're so glad you found the time, 'cause it ain't easy) Julia, Its so good you're of the mind (It's so good you're of the mind to come and see me) Sunday's In the park She says what the love Light plays through silent trees She stays, she stays with me Julia, she's no ordinary color (Not quite blue in hue, nor grey, but something other) Julia, is it green in Aberdeen? (Yes, its really quite serene there in the summer) She stays, after dark We gaze, at the stars Light plays through silent streets She says, says to me I can see, we were meant to be together you and me, Spending all our lives together Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia

Sunday's In the park
She says what the love
Light plays through silent trees
She stays, she stays with me

Julia, she's no ordinary color
(Not quite blue in hue, nor grey, but something other)
Julia, is it green in Aberdeen?
(Yes, its really quite serene there in the summer)

She stays, after dark
We gaze, at the stars
Light plays through silent streets
She says, says to me

I can see, we were meant to be together you and me,
Spending all our lives together

Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia
Julia, Julia, Julia, Julia

I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger
Stung by anger, burned by law
Feel so Scattered, like nothing really matters anymore,
Put that sign out, on my front door

Hitching a ride on the PCH
I got some things I need to say
Calling out a friend of mine

I don't know where the years have gone,
Just know I'm worse for hanging on
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

I knew a good man, he was a break in the Clouds,
hanging so low down
It's got me to thinking, it's not like he gave in,
He just never got that second win

Hitching a ride on the PCH
I got some things I need to say
Calling out a friend of mine

I don't know where the years have gone,
Just know I'm worse for hanging on
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

Ojai-Ojai

I've been a Savior, a Sideman, a Stranger
Son, hedge your wager, cause life ain't fair
I been shaken, sorely mistaken, this path I've taken
Ain't going nowhere

Hitching a ride on the PCH
I got some things I need to say
Calling out a friend of mine

I don't know where the years have gone,
Just know I'm worse for hanging on
Maybe it'd be best if I just let things lie
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai
Guess I'm never gonna get back to Ojai

Listen to the sound of the seaside crashing Cloak on a hook in the hallway Smashing red and yellow Teacups Tripping over clover "Have another pull" cries the Piping Plover I'll be the one who stays I'll be the one who stays Sitting in the cool of the shadows under Can you hear the laughter of the River Daughter? Under water fish are flashing In the sky a thunder crashing I'll be the one who stays I'll be the one who stays I look at you and I don't know who I am I look at you, I see my life as a sham Am I just a con-man? I fooled you once and I can do it again I'll be the one who stays I'll be the one who stays You should be here with me now Looking through the glass as the Moon rolls over Church and Steeple, Hill and Harbor Do you ever wonder what it is inside us? Do you ever wonder where it is inside us? I'll be the one who stays I'll be the one who says I look at you and I don't know who I am I look at you, I see my life as a sham Am I just a con-man? I fooled you once and I can do it again

Listen to the sound of the seaside crashing
Cloak on a hook in the hallway
Smashing red and yellow Teacups
Tripping over clover
"Have another pull" cries the Piping Plover

I'll be the one who stays
I'll be the one who stays

Sitting in the cool of the shadows under
Can you hear the laughter of the River Daughter?
Under water fish are flashing
In the sky a thunder crashing

I'll be the one who stays
I'll be the one who stays

I look at you and I don't know who I am
I look at you, I see my life as a sham
Am I just a con-man?
I fooled you once and I can do it again

I'll be the one who stays
I'll be the one who stays

You should be here with me now

Looking through the glass
as the Moon rolls over Church and Steeple, Hill and Harbor
Do you ever wonder what it is inside us?
Do you ever wonder where it is inside us?

I'll be the one who stays
I'll be the one who says

I look at you and I don't know who I am
I look at you, I see my life as a sham
Am I just a con-man?
I fooled you once and I can do it again
