Sunset On L.A.

(album: Inconsolable Man - 1990)

Blow east wind blow
Blow as you may
Wish I had the power
To take your breath away
This life is golden
But it's only deep as the skin
Feeling much colder
Though I'm standing in the warm desert wind

Gotta leave this town
Else I'll go crazy if I stay
If I see one more sunset on L.A.

I'll miss you blue sky
But not so much
Too much of a good thing
Keeps this old soul out of touch
Sometimes you're empty
Though your dreams they all seem fulfilled
You're cool on the outside
Though the real you is slowly being killed

Gotta leave this town
Else I'll go crazy if I stay
If I see one more sunset on L.A.
Left a girl lying 'neath an old willow tree
At times I think she'll still be waiting there for me

Gotta leave this town
But it's always one day away
Just saw one more sunset on L.A.

Gotta leave this town
Else I'll go crazy if I stay
If I see one more sunset on L.A.

One more sunset on L.A.
Don't want to see
One more sunset on L.A.
Baby wait for me
