The light ocean breeze has brought me a song
That had been forgotten so long
Reminding me that there was place on this Earth
With Joy for all it was worth…
Oh, how long ago, how many years?
Only muddy waters remember that
Joy was loving me, and now – who cares…
All of that is gone, how much you want to bet?
There wasn’t a place for mistrust or a lie
In the heart and the soul and the eye
The mind was so much taken over by Love
That Love was the ‘Truth from Above’…
Oh, how long ago, how many years?
Only muddy waters remember that
Joy was loving me, and now – who cares…
All of that is gone, how much you want to bet?
The further away I run in this race
From meek unremarkable days
The farther away is that sweet little place
Where honesty ruled all my ways
May be my best hopes had led me far
To unknown land where it’s all bizarre
And somewhere is my Joy running free
Singing in the air and crying out for me…
What else can I do? The Evil is wrong
It’s trying much harder than Good
It heals me again, that sweet little song
In ‘San Fran’ and North Hollywood
May be not at once and for all
I gave up my Joy’s happy waterfall
May be just one glance to the back, behind
Will open the Future in my mind
