Mason Jennings - Big Sur lyrics

Just let the disc play

this is a song to give you hope

I wouldn't have it any other way

this is a 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 a song to give hope

Just let this thing surround you

this is a 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"

I said, "Go, go on, go, go on"

I said, "I, I love you truly, so go, go on"

And get a jump on the finer things

this is a song to give you hope

You never know what the past will bring you

this is a song to give you 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,

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 realizing 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 enough

and I know future is as future does

and I know future is as future does
