California Lyrics by Jay Bennett

The Palace at 4am (Part I)

0

You took a giant step away from me
She'll just cry baby tears
And you know he's not alone tonight
Reliving all those years
'Cause tonight all the rules have changed

Those feelings on the shelf, too far to reach
And the distance is growing too
And he's nearly spent as you
With so little of it spent on you
And in the end, it all seems cruel and strange

And it feels like California
Although it's really NOLA
And there's a war inside still raging
There'll be no ceasefire today
But the ghost inside still haunts you еndlessly
Friendlessly going through, through lifе

There's only one hand can set the spark
There's only one word that can start a charge
And it's not mine to say

And it feels like California
Although it's really NOLA
And there's a war inside still raging
There'll be no ceasefire today
But the ghost inside still haunts you endlessly
Friendlessly going through, through life

(My darlin' right from the start)
