Under the Tangerine Sky
life is full of choices and chances
single’s dances and double romances
life moves on while stories are told
time can’t be bought, it’s only sold
there’s a light that dims each passing day
of Sons and Daughters lost along the way
Somewhere under the Tangerine Sky
it's near impossible to read his face
never met the man he tries to replace
too high the gamble too high is the cost
another year taken and another year lost
life moves on while the stories turn gray
of Sons and daughters lost along the way
Somewhere under the Tangerine Sky
He’s a ghost from the coast
under the hot desert sun
the mercury rises and the air is dry
bye and bye
Somewhere under the Tangerine sky
A faded shadow standing in the wind
no longer the man he had once been
wandering lost and all alone,
the price he pays for all the wrong
More and more memories fade away
of sons and daughters lost along the way
Somewhere under the tangerine sky
He's a ghost from the coast
under the hot desert sun
the mercury rises and the air is dry
bye and bye
Somewhere Under the Tangerine Sky
(repeat chorus)
