Friday morning, California
Smoke is in the air
Smells like burning hair in Mendocino
Rolling past the vacancies
And rumors of repair
Tell us life ain’t fair
But what do we know?
[Chorus:]
Baby, all this love to give
Is coming to kiss you where you live
It follows where I go
Losing love like Mercury
Slips right through your hands
And everywhere it lands
Boy, it scatters
Curious the chemistry
The elemental stage
That’s just how we’re made
Well, I gather
[Chorus:]
And the past we made has turned around
Like the lies we stepped in to
And the words we thought we’d never need
Now we do
Crazy like a dragonfly
Up above the pine
Smoke gets in your eyes
Hey, forgive me
But I remember when you said
We’d never, ever touch the stars
If we just cried in bars
Over “Misty”
