martyn joseph - arizona dreams lyrics

[verse 1]
california’s highway kingdom
burns brown in the evening air
cars go cruising for nirvana
from newport beach up to big sur
lovers flirt with passing magic
there amongst the surfboard dunes
as i recall a former age
of d+ck van dyk+ and beach boy tunes

[verse 2]
and i need something to sustain me
it’s such a long, long time till dawn
so i’ll drive down to the desert
to the place where souls are born
there i’ll hear the mountains sing out
where the earth holds peace, it seems
and wish you better days
as arizona dreams

[chorus]
as arizona dreams
the wonder of that name
those arizona dreams
will help me breathe again
[verse 3]
america, you’ve seen some changes
though you’ve been there all my years
as a child you so loved lucy
as a man you drank at cheers
but now you cry on oprah winfrey
wring your hands at downtown riots
worry that you’ve lost your beauty
so you switch to low fat diets

[chorus]
as arizona dreams
the wonder of that name
those arizona dreams
will help me breathe again

[verse 4]
your scr+pbook’s full of former heroes
those who wrote you hymns of praise
woody guthrie, spirit lingers
turn up bruce’s “glory days”
this is your land, here your soul
speak in the mountains and the streams
well, there can be grace again
as arizona dreams
[chorus]
as arizona dreams
the wonder of that name
those arizona dreams
will help me breathe again
as arizona dreams
the wonder of that name
those arizona dreams
no sunset is the same
