West Coast
05:03

Well I've been out to the east coast,
and the waves picked me up and took me home.
Well, I've never been to the west coast,
but if I did I don't think they would let me go.
Well these days I've done a lot of thinking that I have
no intentions of leaving,
but when I think of seeing you laying down beside
the ocean.
Well, I've been out to the east coast,
and the waves picked me up and took me home.
Well, I've never been to the west coast,
but if I did I don't think they would let us go.
Well it seems that I'm just pretending
to defend all the reasons why I'm staying.
It's true but maybe someday I will just
and never say goodbye.
I will just leave it all behind, behind.
Well i've never been to the west coast
but I really think that we should go.
I long for the sun and to be where I belong
next to you beside the ocean.

Hymn
03:17
|

|
I'll strum the chords if you sing the hymn
oh listen to the words I've only wrote for you.
I will cut the chord unless you will let me in.
Oh, how I long to speak of days i'm unsure
of, of
Oh, lay beside me and think of nothing while
the sun sheds it's warmth through our bones
and reaches our souls oh what a beautiful thing
that I can't seem to get away
From, From
Oh, feel what you want to, if you need to, I can be too
caught up in my own head every now and then, I suppose.
But I don't mind and I don't care.
Under the tree, the leaves create shade over your
face, it makes me think.
Who you are, it's hard to tell if you even care that
I know
about you, about you, about you, about you.

Arkansas

|

These days I can't find sleep,
It often seems to escape me.
I listen to the songs on repeat.
Sometimes dreams can be boring.
Mountains call, me back again
from my home, that I'm leaving.
oh, Arkansas, be good while I'm gone.
Just keep a place for my wondering heart.
Oh, by the river, where the cliffs meet the water
in the valley where the mountains cover
My summer sins that I'll keep from my lover
until the fall this is goodbye, my darling until
next time.
Oh, try not to forget but please forgive
for being so unkind and leaving.
But I seek beauty and something to believe in
and I found mine most of the time, oh I find mine most of the time
up in those high pines. Oh, up on that mountainside.

Summer Daze
04:08
|
|||
|
The lightning crashes upon the mountain
and the thunder sounds a great warning
I feel the need to take shelter but it's beauty captures
Oh, how lucky we are to be able
to witness the great sun disappearing
Like a wave the storm is moving
to consume us
In our summer daze, we know not what to think
Everything's so easy going.
I must say that I'm okay.
okay, yeah.
The clouds begin to part and the sun shines
it's great rays.
Upon the only surface that I can't stay away
from.
Oh, how lucky I am to be able to witness the beauty
of her presence.
Like a storm she is moving to consume me.
In our summer fling, we know not what to think
Everything's so easy going.
I must say that i'm okay.
okay, yeah.

Gone much too soon
but I know we have to.
Take all the things we've done
and not forget.
Sometimes it's hard to do
when you know it's all you'll have
from this summertime.
All I know is that I will not forget,
all the days and all the times we've shared.
In this beautiful place, we hold so dear.
It's easy to forget what you have
until it all comes to an end.
Soon we will all know how it feels
just don't leave anything you wish to keep
that aren't memories.
All I know is that I will not forget,
all the days and all the times we've shared.
In this beautiful place, we know nothing about
but we hold so dearly close to our hearts.

Careless Summer
04:10
|
|||
|
I know that you will take care of me
when I'm old.
I will always be, there my dear when
you can't sleep.
It seems that only time will tell my love
for you.
To be so torn by fear and hope you feel the same.
For me, my dear
Summertime has come, careless I am.
Oh, I am one to take things and tear them
to the ground.
At least that's what they say, I can only hope
I have the chance.
To show you a good time before we pack up and
leave.
Let's just enjoy the sun, and be free from sin
if we can.
Because when the leaves have gone,
I'll be on my way,
Sure to not forget,
I hope you'll do the same.
For me, my dear.
Summertime has gone, careless I am.

Come to the sun
04:42
|
|||
|
Come to me, come into the sun.
Swim in it's warmth, follow the truth.
Come to the coast, sink in the sea.
Carefully you'll find, safely we will go.
Safely we will go, safely we will go.
Against the ocean's tide, I can't complain.
Because it's easier not to care,
on such a beautiful day it seems that I still feel.
Come with me, after all we've
said and done as winter takes it's place.
Try not to think and just let go.
It's times like this I find that summer is much
too short.
We can settle in, for the winter time
is sure to tell of our story's end.
But for now, let's not give a care,
on this beautiful day, it seems that I still feel.
Only love for you.

Waking with my girl,
right beside me.
She's the prettiest thing
I've ever seen.
That I've ever seen.
The sun shines through the shade,
and my eyes open wide.
Everything's all good, Everything's alright.
Yeah, everything's just fine.
Catch me before I go, I'm headed out towards the coast.
We don't have much time before I leave.
It seems I will be back very soon because these days I can't
sleep without my girl,
by my side everyday.

Daydreamin'
04:28
|
|||
|
Daydreamin' while the sun is,
high above us, we find comfort.
Kindly leave us, to discover.
All the beauty, we keep inside us.
While we're sleeping, for no reason.
Besides we need to, recover.
From last night's, endless time.
Or the night before, who knows?
Oh, just make sure, you don't sleep your whole
summer away.
It's too bad, that we can't find, more time.
To keep our eyes, open wide.
