Silver Morning

(albüm: Stop Your Motor - 1971)

It's a silver morning
People getting' up above the city
Hot sun is-a coming
And the buck and doe will sleep above the city

California hilltop morning in the gold and the olive and the cinnamon brown
California hilltop morning in the chaparral above the cinnamon town
High on the hill above the cinnamon town

Oh, you gotta run with your dog and chase a covey of quail
Or hear a motorcycle reaching on the Beechwood Trail

Burning in the sun!
City of the Angels!

Silver morning
Smoke hanging over the city
Hot sun is-a pouring
Down through the clouds into the city

California hilltop morning in the gold and the olive and the cinnamon brown
California hilltop morning in the chaparral above the cinnamon town
High on a hill above the cinnamon town

Oh, oh, you gotta run with your dog and chase a covey of quail
Or hear a motorcycle reaching on the Beechwood Trail

Oh! City of the Angels!

Silver morning
Smog hanging over the city
Hot sun is-a pouring
Down through the clouds into the city
(Pouring like a fire through the city)
Down through the clouds into the city
...
No...city!...
(Got to feel it, got to breathe it, don't you know it!)
