Songs » Blue Sky Blues

A brand new day begins on a cloudy morning
I wonder if a storm is coming
A winter day in California
It's sunny waiting rainy weather
Sonny Boy
What are you waiting for?
You've got the blues.  You've got the blues,
You've got the Blue Sky Blues!
 
Another sunny day in California
 
Sonny Boy
What are you waiting for?
You've got the blues.  You've got the blues,
You've got the Blue Sky Blues!

Sonny Boy you've got the Blue Sky Blues
Sonny Boy what are you waiting for?
What are you gonna do? You've got the California Blue Sky Blues. 

I long for rainy days in California
Running water on my window
Awaken me oh chill of winter.

Sonny Boy
What are you waiting for?
You've got the blues.  You've got the blues.
You've got the Blue Sky Blues. 
 
Sonny Boy you've got the Blue Sky Blues
Sonny Boy what are you waiting for?
What are you gonna do? You've got the California Blue Sky Blues.

In California   In California   In California
 
I was a young man back in 1975 
There was something I had to find
So I took a chance and came out west
And when she called then I said yes 
Out of the cold and into the blue sky
Say Hello--Goodbye to loneliness!  I'm on my way 
To California.   It's all..... right.  It's all..... right.
 
The heat of the desert, Tehachapi in the evening light 
A new home on Highway 49
Hello Char, long time I've waited
To be with you in this way, in these
Golden rolling hills, my oh my
Say Hello, Hello. I've found my way!  Yes, I found my way 
To California.   It's all..... right.  It's all.....  right. 
 
Sentimental, monumental. Really changed my life. 
Got a home in California. I'm feeling all right.  
 
Smiling every day now, I'm happy to be alive.
Another chance to realize.
I've been lucky over and over,
Guardian angel on my shoulder
Out of my mind, and into the good life.
Blue eyes, greener pastures, sun-shine.  I found my way 
In California.  It's all..... right.  It's all..... right, in California
 
It's all right    in California
It's all right    in California
It's all right    in California

Songs » Indian Roses

On the day of the celebration
Many takers were there
There were those of the forgotten nation
In long black hair

They were coming to behold
And reminisce the time of old
Underneath the Indian Roses was the gold.
They paved the road with Indian Roses
They paved the road with Indian Roses
They paved the road with Indian Roses
And drove away.

The people gathered in modern devotion
And filled their eyes
On the ground feathered dancers in motion
Made for display

Seven women under a loom
Weave along the afternoon
Underneath the Indian Roses was the moon.
They laid her soul on Indian Roses
They laid her soul on Indian Roses
They laid her soul on Indian Roses
And walked away
And walked away
And walked away!

They laid her soul on Indian Roses
They laid her soul on Indian Roses
They laid her soul on Indian Roses
And walked away.

Then came the sound of galloping horses
Which turned the heads
Ceremonial dancers and singers
“Let’s rest,” they said.

Saddled high the mountain men,
Smiled down at the ruin
They’d stolen Indian Roses from the moon.
They sold the people Indian Roses
They sold the people Indian Roses
They sold the people Indian Roses
And rode away. And rode away. And rode away.

Songs » Rainy Day Lover

He's a Rainy Day Lover and the weather's fair
Sing in the rain forever care-free
On the road in a blue Corvair
California in the air.  
 
Rainy days and lonely nights,
He's come a long way since the time when he
Couldn't say what was on his mind            
He was so afraid of the rain.            
Now he's a rainy day lover.  
 
He's found what it takes
To put it all together 
And no rain can undo it.
 
I found LA and there is no rain.
I fell in love, what else can I say.
Now I believe that I am here to stay.
I've gotta say...  I love LA
I'm a rainy day lover.            
 
Rainy Day Lover I never knew
How you were there to see me through.  Now I'm            
Not ashamed that it took me so long.
I'm the lucky one, you're my song,
Rainy day lover. 

Songs » The Fog

Instrumental 
 
I cannot see
Where could I be?  
Alone. In the Fog
Suddenly I'm standing still.
Waiting.
It's lonely.
 
In my mind.
Troubles.
Bring me down.
In the fog I cannot see.
Who can help this blind man?         
In the fog.
 
Instrumental (
 
Timelessly.
Silently.
Creeps-s-s-s... along.
Steady.            
Ghostly.
In the fog it's lonely.
