lyrics

the coffee is cold and a spliff half smoked
on the edge of the ledge from a bedtime toke
I was reaching for rhymes and couldn't quite make the kill
but another day waking is another day free
till it's "hey, who said that, wait, that was me"
there's no limit to what your mind can be
when you're living on sycamore hill

oh the quiet of the night is a hollow old log
where the coyotes howl through a hazy fog
such a hush you can almost hear the color of the moonlight spill
and the breaking of day worth its weight in gold
its a front row ticket to the matinee show
and I've since been convinced there's no better way to go
than living on sycamore hill

I gotta gal with a window seat
on the seven forty seven up from new orleans
if she's late i'll still wait at the gate
it gives me such a thrill
and there's stew on the stove and sticks for a fire
and a record on deck and a bottle of wine
I'm gonna show my baby how fine a time it is
living on sycamore hill

Entire album is excellent. As is the rest of the catalog. Go back to 1970...take the Dead and Floyd and roll them up. Yet completely different. Just plain old GOOD MUSIC. Ed Fransko
