Malibu Sunset

Just like a slowly rolling tide A jet trail sails across the sky Drifting past the shell-shaped moon A surreal moment gone too soon It may not be the best I’ve seen Tinged with smoke and grenadine But it goes down smooth, this evening sky So raise your glass a mile high ‘Cuz it tastes like a Malibu sunset As close to the beach as I can get Palms and powerlines mar my view As I lie here and drink a few My back to the earth, on solid ground They say you can’t fall while lying down Well, if that is what you really think Perhaps I’ll have just one more drink.
