Mellow and then yellow
Sunshine came softly through my window today
Andy was still in Vietnam fighting
Lalena, I still can’t blame you
A badge hidden in that wrapping paper
I’m so glad I had just a spoonful
Of that strange brew, boiling
In a white room with black curtains
Good times, bad times, I’ve had my share
But Babe I’m gonna leave you
So show me the stairway to Heaven
Before I’m too dazed and confused
It’s only a paper sun
But feels like coloured rain
Smiling phases all around
Damn that hole in my shoe
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Could it be 25 or 6 to 4?
It’s Saturday in the park
I think it was the 4th of July
Just when I thought it was all over
“Ashes & Fire” (the Album) did save me
Including “Dirty Rain” and “Chains of Love”
“Come Home” had me crying like a baby
Ryan Adams, you’re not a pretty man, but you’ve got one hell of a voice
