Lost Again 05:57
Lost Again "Gimme your foot on a pedal boat those huge lizards on the shore soaking up the sun may be hungry but don’t be afraid I’ll be with you Gimme a see-saw in a park downtown and two pandas on a red heart beating for you If you give me long-tailed boats again on the river And drink a young coconut juice in a bar again then I will defeat them Gimme a boarding in the sunrise across the ocean see what we aimed to afar I want to be lost with you again Lost on our island we found on our way and love you like I do but far away in the shelter we found in a palm-tree forest Gimme the waves breaking on the shore as we awake in the morning light Give us our sunstrokes on the back mocking birds laughing at you and me suffering like war casualties If you give me your smile in the sun again and take a cold shower with me in the morning again then I will beat them Gimme your dog playing in the sand mosquitos at the sunset in the jungle scratching arms and legs covered with bites Gimme rain for a day, and storm and thunder if you want it I won’t really bother cause all I want is you and me lost again Lost on our island we found on our way and love you like I do but far away in the shelter we found in a palm-tree forest"

Rough intrusive moving in "I was used to work on my own writing songs home alone Never been looking for some fellowship in my silent house Dust mites settling for a while on my spanish ham well i might never have some again I was used to drink on my own recording songs all day long Used to sing along for nobody but the clapping sound of my plant trees Green flies wrecking my favorite beloved tree that i might not have to feed anymore Rough intrusive moving in means time to pack my bags and move away I was used to be alone"
3.
Leaving the captain "Spring  is here again and you're leaving the captain behind say goodbye to the children we've been hanging out with by a warm summer night i'm sorry that i threatened them with a sharp knife cooking in your kitchen i would never thought you had to leave him and all the people around leaving all the wreckages for a new ship and sail away across the ocean of life early birds back from over the seas are nest building in the woodlands we're leaving buds springing over again and you're leaving the captain behind the ship the built and made with our own two hands gathering branches,  timbers and planks and we're boarding again to sail forward on a six octaves small piano"

47 Willows 06:10
47 willows there’s a house of 47 willows leaning over a green fresh running river stopping for no one except for water lilies standing still like stagnant maybes if you look through the window you could see building roofs behind houseplants weeping for a richer land and right before the sun sets down leaves are turning red in an incandescent light and i’m yearning for more trees that i can afford like the 47 willows leaning over i’m standing by the windows looking over the blue sky turning into a gray one till the next seasons the rain falling and making my young green oak grow like the 47 willows leaning over i’m standing by the windows looking over like the 47 willows
5.
Coconut in Albert’s house no left captain nor any willows just a spoiled coconut in alberts house on your way back home again then you will know how good it is to own this coconut in alberts house i can hear april in paris and plane trees blooming again the sun of may gently petting the coconut in alberts house its been a long cold exhausting winter moving in and out from there to here and chris cool is so far away now hunting  for the black tailed deer he can get coconuts in plenty up in his tree house but any looking like the coconut in alberts house june, july deep in the soil a young tree had growing fast we oughta protect it from the coconut in alberts house

Wide open spaces someday we'll be away we'll celebrate and say hooray oh yeah hooray for holidays somewhere we'll be together, together in a desert is better than everlasting winters forever we could harvest what we would grow you could simmer what had been harvested we could relish your delightful dishes but i don't want this right here away from the country and i wish it could be now and away from town and i wish it could be now in wide open spaces you gotta run to the country with me hiding from suburban trains continued unceasing rains we gotta run into the great wide open nature where animals know how to live far from night clubs and bars

Let It Go 05:31
Let it go Would need a fresh new start to get the feeling of running the show again In spite of the fact i broke up my band few years ago i still don’t want to consider it over I know i oughta make it on my own and go solo instead of keeping pretending that i am still running the show but i know i just cannot let it go I know i should act like a superstar and every time i get on stage break my guitar to make mom and dad proud and the young girls cry or take of my shirt show off my body but i swear my stomach is not really worth it at all I know i oughta make it on my own and go solo instead of keeping pretending that i am still running the show but i know i just cannot let it go

We never met Chris Cool we met that girl from Germany who spoke English much more better than me a Chinese girl from Taiwan and another from New York City on a night bus on our way back from the northern mountains got robbed in our sleep with more fear than pain with two girls from Israel and another from Austria we finally realized we were just like everybody following the same tracks taking the same path walking in the same ways too back on the island we started over new and met that jaunty girl who offered drinks and food played a French game with Jed and T-Rex from the Munchy bar we climbed up a mountain perfectly still with that kind of Paul's fool on the hill he was growing orchids flowers all around the diamond caves we finally realized we were just like everybody following the same tracks taking the same path flocking in the same lanes too but we've never met Chris Cool yet he was hiking in the northern forest we were heading south across the sea on a ferry just like everybody  but not him

Homecoming 06:08
Homecoming Here’s a letter to let you know we’re heading home to get back all the things you stole us We’re taking everything back and settle down again nobody will even suffer everything will be just fine The greenery and the stones in the backyard we’re taking all we owned the fig tree and the dogs in the front yard and the tractor too the mountains surrounding the lake and the landscape stripped by all the rivers hello again here’s another one to remind you we’re on our way we’re coming right now we were so fed up with living in the city that we’re hovering over the country just keep in mind that you’ll have to leave all your things behind the small house in the meadows and the blue sky above the countryside the green forest all around you and the black oaks in the fall sun too homecoming small wee, tiny, little substitute of California this is our latest letter of reminder please don’t forget the housework and the bunch of keys on the portal door greeneries and rocks in the backyard we’re taking all we owned like summer’s heat and spring birds on the branches of the hill top trees every field surrounding the farm in the valley with every cows and sheep and the horses settle down again with a spoiled cat a pink deer and a panda bear

Indigo 04:24
Indigo While the duke is blowing and indigo tune in the stereo I watch you gently petting your coconut tree and your tears are falling I could have stayed all night long watching you shining in the glow To the sound of a sad song a tear from you is worth millions of them While the duke was blowing and indigo tune in the air I’ve watched you gently petting your coconut tree and your tears were falling So please let us carry on cause sadness makes oh so beautiful And god knows how much I love when you’re downhearted when your feeling blue

Indian summer Paris’ pavement covered with summer’s debris and fallen leaves You’ll be away for a while but naked plane trees won’t die Indian summer and the fall would be nicer You’ll forget all your troubles in the sun So please swim for me up the Salinas river like a water snake twisting its periscope head Cause god knows how much i wish i could be there too and lie Sleeping among the sycamores under yellow willows along the shore The long valley is still greener than gray building and cold showers falling So please glide smoothly up the Salinas river like a water snake twisting its periscope head Don’t get lost on the road i know you might need to find your way home Watch out for the mountain lions or capture one of them in your Monterey sardine’s fishnet And don’t miss to say hello to our friends in San Francisco September 27th
