I dreamt about a tranquil Sunday drive |
|
A sensory lullaby |
|
We trade the comics, cartoons and magazines |
|
For pistons and gasoline |
|
We see the road from the bedside |
|
Parked under the sunshine |
|
We feel the warmth of the engine, so we climb inside |
|
And take it to the motorway |
|
Watch the clouds turn into faces, it's fun to play |
|
Shift the gears for years and age a single day |
|
Until we spill onto Russian Hill |
|
Past cathedrals filled with God's favorite guests |
|
Dirty hands feel clean when dressed in their Sunday best |
|
Treeline village, oh, so heavenly |
|
Cross a bridge of gold to landscapes of juniper |
|
Only Eden is for millionaires |
|
Watch the clouds turn into faces, it's fun to play |
|
Shift the gears for years and age a single day |
|
Until we spill onto Russian Hill |
|
I'm pulling through the last stoplight |
|
We head home past the shoreline |
|
And through the rear view mirror it all melts away |
|
'Til we're helpless |
|
Watch the clouds turn into faces, it's fun to play |
|
(We're hopeless) |
|
We shift the gears for years and age a single day |
|
(It fades away) |
|
For like curtains close this sunset matinee |
|
A dream fulfilled on Russian Hill |
