Big Sur Lyrics

Just let the disc play

This is the song to give you hope

I wouldn't have it any other way

This is the song to give you hope



When you say

Honey I'm afraid to sleep at night, sleep at night

Honey I'm afraid to sleep at night, sleep at night



Well, I wish I had my arms around you

This is the song to give hope

Just let thing thing surround you

This is the song to give hope



When you say

Honey I'm afraid to sleep at night, sleep at night

Honey I'm afraid to leave tonight, leave tonight



I said go, go on

Go, go on


I said I, I love you truly

So go, go on



And get jump on the finer things

This is the song to give hope

You never know what the past will bring you

This is the song to give hope



When you say

Honey I'm afraid to sleep at night, sleep at night

Honey I'm afraid to leave tonight, leave tonight



I said go, go on

Go, go on


I said I, I love you truly

So go, go on



Forty miles south of Monterey and San Lucia Hills

The sunshine shone me to sleep

And I dreamt I was alive

I sang myself a song that went

Know what you know, mmmm

Stay when you stay, and go when you go



And I call it intuition

Flowers bloom and hummingbirds fly

Yes I call it intuition

It gets me by



Sailing on a silver ship

Out to the open

Lonely and realising that

Our friendship's been broken



And the funny thing to me

Is how quickly it slips away

And leaves you thinking of the things

That were never spoken



And you know loving me is not a enough

And I know future is as future does



Sailing on a silver ship

Out to the open

Lonely and realising that

Our friendship's been broken



And the funny thing to me

Is how quickly it slips away

And leaves you longing for the things

That were never spoken



And you know loving me is not a enough

And I know future is as future does

Great song from Mason ... he says this is a song to give you hope, but there is a little bit of regret attached to this. He knows that some relationships are meant to end, but he wishes it didn't have to be this way. Love the words ... "And the funny thing to me is how quickly it slips away. And leaves you longing for the things that were never spoken." Ah the dreams of what could have been.

Mason introduced this song at a concert one time. He said it was about a time he really love someone, but he knew that things weren't going to work out in the long run, and that he had to break their heart. He sounded like he might cry when he explained it.

The song tries so hard to sell the breakup as a good thing. I often wonder how it went over.

wonderful song, innovative time changes and intelligent melodies all done with a guitar, bass, and drums. 6 minutes of beauty
