Lyrics

I?m up in the clouds again.
The gloom is settling in.
Beneath the spires of our happy city,
Darkness is falling and I can?t see across the bay,

To the east bay where my heart, it hides. That is where you reside.

I want to go to your house in the hills.
I?m not in to these cheep city thrills.
I want to live where I can see the daylight
and count these stars in the Oakland sky/in the dead of night.

I think that like has turned to love
but my apoplectic tongue won?t give me up.
Seeing through semantics and all the things we fear,
to find the words we want are already there.

In the Berkeley sun you?re having fun; where these big-city clouds are done and gone.
