I fell in love with her the very first time
She was never subtle and hardly sublime
Even her mother told me how often she lied
I tried to leave her but couldn't if I tried,
She was my Hippy chick in all her splendor and lust
Wasn't the kind with whom you build forever or trust
Like when out of nowhere comes a wind gust
Headed for psychedelic California or bust,
Like two colorful birds in the air
It's not the permanence it's just the affair
Trying to make something so elusive last
A moment that should have been long left in the past,
Trying to settle down
With the logic of a clown
Please don't ask why I'm wearing a frown
Little wonder I couldn't make it in this town,
Playing the drums in a storage unit at night
Along with my bandmates and their personal plights
Just a collection of gifted neophytes
Never destined for the neon lights,
But the memories are there anyway
Little would I know I'd be begging her to stay
Like a little puppy who just ran away
Just an inscription on the tombstone where I lay,
Foolish and impulsive this was me
Wanting to tempt fate and ride for free
A ticket to my personal hell so joyfully
Can't master your world without integrity,
Heavenly Father I'm full of regrets
There are those things I haven't done yet
All those who died around me caught up in the net
How many of my former lovers did I forget?
I am but a spirit at the gates of dawn
Lost in my reflection in some forbidden pond
It seems my dilemma goes on and on
I remember her being blue eyed and blond.
