Alejandro Escovedo - Sacramento and Polk Lyrics
The moon is brighter than the sunMy shadow is longer at night as I drive your wayThe trees hang from the branchesThe moon hangs from the skyWaters lies flat in the gutterWhile a rose climbs up the staircaseAnd falls upon the landingAnd falls upon the landingAnd as I wonder where you areI'm so lonesome I could cryShe really is breathtaking as she lies there softly sleepingUndisturbed, and I wish,And I wish my breath, my voice, my touchCould awaken herYeah, awaken her againI'm under a spell her nameOh, I spell her nameI'm under a spell her nameThere really is no reason fro the way that I am feelingIt could've been the weatherOr something less than thatI need to shed this old skin for something that's much lighterMaybe different colorsMaybe not so tightI'm under a spell her nameOh, I spell her nameI'm under a spell her nameIt singes and it burns like a delicate veilThe pressure of her kissFeels like it's all over nowI never could jump from high enoughI never could jump from high enoughA third story jump ain't high enoughIt's just a mess on Market St.I'm under a spell her nameOh, I spell her nameI'm under a spell her namePalo Alto Hotel at Sacramento and PolkThe neighbors spend their daysWashing their socks and staring out the windowsIn a thorazine hazeThey don't know what to do with their handsThey vaguely remember some plansBut that was so long agoI'm under a spell her nameOh, I spell her nameI'm under a spell her name
