Driving home late, rain pouring down
Jim James singing a hillside song
Thinking of the women, that I’ve loved best
The one who headed east, the one who went west
Wondering about the time
And when our paths align
Is this what it’s all about? Cause this love never runs out
Darling I will love you ‘til I die
However or whether you are in my life
I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you now
You’re gonna spend your brightest years
Counting on a love that never appears
Then you’re gonna panic and settle down
With the next best thing to come around
Darling I’ve been here all along
I had that fear but now it’s gone
They don’t know you like I do, they don’t know what we’ve been through
I told you I would love you ‘til I die
However or whether you are in my life
I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you, I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you, I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you now
I wish I could call you now

Twenty two everything to do
Nothing to say but I say it anyway
I been every state in the lower 48
But I never met a girl quite like you
Time has a way of slipping away
I took that leap yet to find my feet
But I still got time at least that's my line
to keep traveling on my way
Always one foot out the door
Always thought there must be more
But now I'm here it's all too clear
How long the road is to truth

I know a guy that's got a lot to lose
He's a pretty nice fellow, kinda confused
Got muscles in his head, ain't never been used
Thinks he own half of this town
Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose
Beats his old lady with a rubber hose
Then he takes her out to dinner, buys her new clothes
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
You're up one day, the next you're down
It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
I was sitting in the bathtub, counting my toes
When the radiator broke, water all froze
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown
I was crying, "Ice cubes", hoping I'd croak
When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke
I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
You're up one day, the next you're down
It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
You're up one day, the next you're down
It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes 'round

May the moon illuminate your road
May you always find a friend
To carry the heavy load
May you find yourself a lover
To love you forever more
May you find peace when you close the bedroom door
May you always strive to be great
May you never fear the time
Tells you it’s too late
May you be light as a feather
And go where the winds blow
And when you’re lost let the sand caress your toes
All of this I’d wish for anyone
Whether we’ve met
Or our paths have not yet crossed
That junction
May your work be what you love
May you never lose your faith
In the earth and the stars above
And when you find
A place to settle down
May you take root in fertile ground
All of this I’d wish for anyone
Whether we’ve met
Or our paths have not yet crossed
That junction
All of this I’d wish for anyone
Whether we’ve met
Or our paths have not yet crossed
That junction
When you one day finally become one
With ocean and the land
And you set off for the sun
You look in the rear mirror
At all that you have done
May you say “yeah, had a pretty good run”
May you say “yeah, that was pretty fun”
May you say “yeah, had a pretty good run”

King Dream Bodega, California
King Dream is a Bay Area psych-rock project from longtime songwriter and musician Jeremy Lyon. With roots planted in the golden era of California psychedelia, and a wry, playful energy that places him firmly in the 21st century, Lyon charts a path through timeless themes: disillusionment with oneself, with adulthood, with one’s country — and that there’s still plenty worthy of a love song. ... more
