TALE OF TWO CITIES (alt title: Get A Little)

I gave up San Franciscan nights

And threw away my City Lights

I left my heart on a hill, nowhere in sight

You say it’s been a long time

And longer since you’ve felt my pride

I can’t deny I’ve taken a hit and moved to the side

“Has it been a good time?” So-So

“Did you get the work done?” I don’t know

“When you think you’ll come back?”

When I get all the pieces to fit and something to show

I figured it would be cheaper

I’d take a break and get on track

Focus on my future connections and get it back

“The summer’s great and the days are long.

“The winter’s when we get stuff done.”

I factor in the depression; I’m not having fun

I’m taking pictures of flowers, I have to confess

When I decided to change, I was under duress

Minutes turn into hours, my life is a mess

Same Thing, Different Day

You’re excused, go away

Maybe I’ll keep on moving

Make a living playing pool

I don’t suppose I could make it with all those rules

So give me back my sweater-clad summers

Yes, open up the Golden Gate

The land of broken toys is mine in California State
