I'm down in Black Rose Canyon
Sky above looks like rain
Time holds the hours for ransom
But I stole some back today
Yes I stole some back today
Oak trees of California
Hidin' underneath freeways
And if you don't pay attention
You won't notice them most days
I won't notice them most days
And I've always been in love
With the moon and stars above but I'd trade every empty evening
For us
I'm walking off a bad dream
The one that we both had last night
There wasn't much cause for a fever
Even less cause for a fight
Even less cause for a fight
I'm just a method actor
On a day that's overcast
Practicing the teardrops
As the rain falls on the past
As the rain falls on the past
And I have always been in love
With the moon and stars above but I'd trade every empty evening
For us
I don't have much control
When both of my eyes are closed
But when the sun rises I know
I don't want to walk alone
And I have always been in love
With the moon and stars above but I'd trade every empty evening
For us
And I have always been in love
With the moon and stars above but I'd trade every empty evening
For us
