you were nothing but golden sun and you made me feel better than good i ask when you’re coming back to brighten my days and you said hey july-eh, july-oh i was worried you’d wreck my heart in the heat of some big city night but you stayed strong and true as i was to you so i’ll sing hey july-eh, july-oh i’ve been waiting so long it feels like hibernation i’m living on old kisses, old conversations i can feel the rumblings of spring i’ve got a hunger for you, it’s unlike anything i was counting each day gone by but it made the time pass so slow so there’s only one page on my calendar now it reads hey july-eh, july-oh i’ve been waiting so long it feels like hibernation i’m living on old kisses, old conversations i can feel the rumblings of spring i’ve got a hunger for you, it’s unlike anything i ever dreamt before the skies are mostly grey all day got a bit nicer in april and may but it won’t get bright until you bring back the sun and i’ll sing hey july-eh, july-oh but not til hey july-eh, july-oh

Over the moon, into the stars And not a moment too soon Over the moon Into the sky, they call me crazy I can’t imagine why Into the sky To say goodbye to that smile on their face Lays me to waste, it almost holds ya down I went out of this world And after your star I would spend every breath Just to be where you are Out of this world In search of your light And you may not accept me But I hope that you might I let you go, it took me all of Thirty seconds to know I had to follow you Into the sky, they tried to stop me I said don’t even try Into the sky To say goodbye to that smile on their face Lays me to waste, it almost holds ya down I went out of this world And after your star I would spend every breath Oh, to be where you are Out of this world In search of your light And you may not accept me But I hope that you might

vision after vision running thru your head carrying you along how come the lord made me so weak decided to make you strong laser-like precision in the way you talk you know just what you want scrambling to follow every place you go but at least it turns me on and if it’s ever gonna happen, please christ somehow if the skies are gonna open, then let it be now let it all come down how can I be certain when I cannot see got my faith all ripped and torn ain’t no better time for one world to die and a new one to be born lead me to the valley where your nature speaks and your spirit is unfolded Into the land where the crow flies straight and the sunsets comes up golden and if it’s ever gonna happen, please christ somehow if the skies are gonna open, then let it be now let it all come down

gentle voices talk like this bringing you one final wish your words escape into the sun and that’s where you’ll be found thru the dark and back around i heard how your skin got tough handling some nasty stuff rumors brought into the light keep on diggin’ down thru the dark and back around thru the dark and back around on the surface it might seem the same but underneath it’s overhauled ever had your bullshit called hangover morning here we come that’s where you’ll be found thru the dark and back around thru the dark and back around on the surface it might seem the same but underneath it’s overhauled ever had your bullshit called hangover morning here we come keep on diggin’ down thru the dark and back around

Side Car Clyde was a pussy cat You’d never hear him complain He fought like a lion in a leghole trap When anybody pulled his chain He went down hard when his sweetheart left She never even said goodbye Now he keeps to the shadows and to himself So nobody can hear him cry The devils run east and the angels west Clyde runs north and south He just ain’t thinking ‘bout all the rest He’s thinking of her pretty mouth He went down hard when his sweetheart left She never even said goodbye Now he keeps to the shadows and to himself So nobody can hear him cry You see him ‘round riding he’s a little rough The sidecar’s empty now He says that he’s never gonna give it up He’s gonna get her back somehow He went down hard when his sweetheart left She never even said goodbye Now he keeps to the shadows and to himself So nobody can hear him cry

your dream is buried under 3-foot snow and it will die there with no place to go even the sparrows on the cold limbs know that you are living inside of their vision separate images might intertwine am I looking through those eyes or mine cuz in that moment when you fall in line you'll be living inside of their vision whoa mother look now, I've been breathing underwater no chances taken, so they drug my heart away and after all, it was my own decision are you still there underneath all that swag i don't remember you as such a drag ya held a picnic on a checkered flag when you were living inside of their vision so if some wild thoughts start slipping through look back in time it’s not so hard to do and if you’re lucky you can start off new cuz you've been living inside of their vision you’ve been living inside of their vision

won’t you come down from where you’re perched now let your hair blow free streets are quiet, neighbors are sleeping it’s just you and me the kids have all gone tumbling to’ards the danceclubs and the bars c’mon, we’ll go out walking sniffing the petals and catching the stars ahh, we’ll go out walking sniffing the petals and catching the stars rings of flower, bewitching hours get up dance and sing trade my secrets for your expressions i know you’d never say a thing take my hand and wipe away these bruises, scrapes and scars c’mon, we’ll go out walking sniffing the petals and catching the stars ahh, we’ll go out walking sniffing the petals and catching the stars and i know these spells are cast to be broken and a broken heart awaits for me at dawn when you leave me for a mainland town and it might as well be Mars c’mon, we’ll go out walking sniffing the petals and catching the stars hey, we’ll go out walking sniffing the petals and catching the stars we’ll go out walking sniffing the petals and catching the stars ah, ah, ah...
