Wanderlust Songtext
von Rick Barry

In the evenings I feel blind
There′s only darkness in the sky
And I miss the west coast
Where every melody I compose
Seemed to come from a far more desperate time

All alone
Thousands of miles from home


And I need a Santa Ana breeze
Those coastline sunsets are calling me
Toward those seductive shores
Where my best ideas were born
And for a moment I almost believed
I could escape this wretched life I've made

Those rolling hills carry me inside their breath
As I recall such warmth and tenderness
Yeah, sometimes I feel like I′ve never really left
Call me nostalgic or naive
Memories not too distant to retrieve
And I'll pretend like I'm back there
With L.A. girls in the thoroughfare
And for an instant I am free

All alone
Thousands of miles from home
