So ends a summer day in 1963 from here on Silver Beach are many things to see The moon is underway on it’s trip across the sea the waves are rollin’ in a simple melody The tide is high The moon in motion I want to fly there someday The beach has always been the perfect place for me There in the midnight hour life opens up to me The moon is underway On it’s trip across the sea The waves are rollin’ in a simple melody The tide is high The moon in motion I want to fly there someday So ends a summer day in 1963 from here on Silver Beach are many things to see The moon is underway on it’s trip across the sea the waves are rollin’ in a simple melody The tide is high the moon in motion I want to fly there someday

I imagined an island garden spot in the sea but got Garden State Parkway down to south Jersey Or maybe put in another road like 80 or blast another hole in a mountain for a road who knows they might just cut that whole state in half! you never know I geared down my Corvette 'cause what did I see? on Garden State Parkway down to south Jersey maybe put in another road like 80 or blast another hole in a mountain for a road who knows they might have just asphalted the beach! you never know who's fault? no, it's asphalt.

Here comes the rays of dawn here comes the endless sun here comes over the mountain the flowing fountain of love Here comes the windy crash here comes the light is growing fast here comes reflected rivers and seas here comes another one just like me here comes sunrise

Whisps of profundities curled out spurred on by our tales of lifes lament two rich paupers financial diapers merely subjects in the grand experiment Whisps of conformities curled out spurred on by our life for enlightenment two rich paupers financial diapers merely subjects in the grand experiment Whisps of profundities curled out spurred on by our search for enlightenment lifetime runs on angry gohonzons spin us round and round

Hey inspiration come find me today I'm draggin' my feet are long on the ground hey mister song you unwind me tonight play for me the pretty, pretty sounds of guitar chords, keyboards anyone can see that it's all there, nowhere save in me Temptresses of potential they're all around you see 'em some fine day walk with them talk with them tell them your dreams you probably you probably hear them say your living barely, fairly anyone can see that it's, it's all there, nowhere save in me see one fine day see one fine day see one fine day see one fine day

The old piano tuner now he's riding down the street gots a bow tie on his neck smiles at peoples that he meets says wait a minute piano tunings not for me have pianos on his knees say now A 440 please See the young apprentice now he's riding cross the land he's going to find an upright going to make is sound grand he says wait a minute piano tunings not for me have pianos on your knees say now A 440 please The old piano tuner now he walks into the shop going to practice his French Horn gonna make the place rock he says wait a minute don't believe this is for me have pianos on his knees he's a craftsman to the third degree See the young apprentice now he's riding through the night he's going to find an old grand and do it upright he said wait a minute piano tunings not for me have pianos on your knees say now A 440 please

Nary a word in this whole English language says I'll feel it new places smiling faces and it's time to generate a little inner healing, yeah Life is just so damned beautifly sad when there's no leaves on the trees and your favorite crik does freeze like James I'll sing you a tune about when we gotta say goodby so soon take time to take time calm your mind and you will always be happy up level all addictions to a preference and you will always be smiling Yeah, life is just so damned beautifly sad like when you see your dreams abandon themselves to another soul like another man that you are dust and of the dust you shall return like how lifes waves come and obliterate you writers castles of sand and can you gotta think about before you can say lo, heck yeah There ain't a word in this whole English language that says I'll feel it new places smiling faces and it's time to facilitate a little inner healing, yeah

Here I think I'll be this way I think I'll be this way I think I'll bet this way I think I'll be this way until I die I feel a fool I feel a fool I feel a fool The people of Bloomington they say look at me look how exotic I am but they don't feel or show what they really really feel can you do this or that? I'm right here talkin on the radio and I think I got a great voice yeah and I can't sing this to the bone without someone like you pushing me down pushing me down, pushing me down pushing me down, pushing me down I know how it feels, I know how it feels I know how it feels Break it down, break it up break it down it feels, you fool it feels it feels just like a giant mustache growing, out there growing on your nose oh, it feels just like a giant mustache growing on your nose It feels it feels it feels just like a giant mustache growing on his nose it feels, it feels just like a... oh, so this is what it looks like in heaven I would never, beleive me I would never have guessed

Is there significance, is there meaning? Smiles the white wealthy man life defeating try me meditating try me fasting lose me all my friends ain't dey nasty see their rags that signifies their poverty it's not me Where's the significance where's the meaning? Cries the white wealthy man so deceiving try me look for love never finding learn me love myself maybe starting see their riches that signify their poverty it's not me Is there significance, is there meaning? Smiles the white wealthy man self defeating try me meditating try me fasting lose me all my friends ain't dey nasty see their rags that signifies their poverty it's not me it's not me Is there significance where's the meaning? Cries the white wealthy man so deceiving try me look for love never finding learn me love myself could I give it up never trying see the treasure, it signifies my poverty now it's me only me now it's me only me
