Fast Forward Reverse (Schelzel)

Pedestrian (Schelzel)

I saw you last night
alone in your car
it wasn't quite right
your headlights were out

I woke up today
I had to find out
if all was OK
but your phone line was out

If you don't come quickly
If you don't come to
I'll be gone

I walked to the square
I called out your name
they said you were dead
and we were to blame

If you don't come quickly
If you don't come to
I'll be gone

I saw you today
alone in your room
it wasn't OK
your headlights were out

Golden Gate (Clapp, Schelzel)

Reach high Golden Gate
touch the clouds Golden Gate
drive up to the sky

Red arms breach the miles
bring me to the golden smiles
of my girl
see her smile
see her soar

Drive
so high
up to the sky

lala la la la la la la

Reach high Golden Gate
touch the clouds Golden Gate
drive up to the sky

Drive
so high
up to the sky

lala la la la la la la

Ticket to Wyoming (Ronne)

Bought a ticket to Wyoming
tossed another life away
Left, and a lotta things I didn't get to say

I know your daddy didn't like me
he said I wasn't up to any good
so I high-tailed it to Wyoming 'cause I could

'Cause out here the air is very clear
and the mornin' dew will see you through the day.
A sky so wide you can leave your past behind
and lose yourself, and even change your name.

Bought another ticket to Wyoming
That's sorta what this letter's all about.
Bought it hopin' you'd consider movin' out

And so, I'll meet you at the station
when your train rolls into town
just make sure that you're a-wearing
your wedding gown.

Sunshower (Ronne)

Roof top and I can't stop
the rhythm of the raindrops
that mingle with my tears.
Orange glow, the radio
reminds me you're not here, and I'm aware
and now I'm reminiscing
all the things we shared
staring at the leaves, talking to the trees
all of these, especially sunshowers.

Blue Jean is striking off
the checklists from the magizines
that clutter up her room.
"Can you spot the warning signs
of boredom letting itself in your life?"
Well, can you tell?
Is it something that I said or do I smell?
Maybe I can change
Maybe I'm insane
Baby, I just need a sweet...

I shuffle down the sidewalk in the afternoon
on Monday afternoon.
whistlin' while I walk away,
I look up to the sky and wonder why
the clouds have gathered seem to say goodbye.
Adios, my friend
Bon Voyage again
Arrivederci, everyone
Sunshower
