San Pablo Bay
04:38
|
|||
take a ride with me on an emerald leaf
ooh… it’ll soothe your head as you rest your feet
coming up ahead in the morning breeze
ooh… little woman standing at the edge of the beach
see the ripples on the shore
dream of new lands unexplored
board the ship with Yali
and know that her eyes have seen
all your black hearts breaking
you were older then
you were younger when
you wait for me
laughing all the way to San Pablo Bay
ooh… lovin’ in your smile as you row away
pluck the ripest peach from the forest tree
ooh... la la la la la la la la la
drink from the honeydew
sweet, there’s nothing sweet as you

Gold Leaves
tangerine, gently swaying to her
tambourine, flowers dancing cross her
soiled feet, I found my dreams down there
cannot speak, when the moonlight’s passing
over me, I’ll be bathing in your
crystal stream, you won’t see me when I’m gone
gold leaves blowing
let’s wait for the mole
where we going
let’s take another road
gold leaves blowing
don’t leave me alone
forest breeze, keeps me waiting for your
gold leaves to show
turn the key, time to wake up from our
winter sleep, we’ll catch good dream tonight
gold leaves blowing
let’s wait for the mole
where we going
let’s take another road
gold leaves blowing
don’t leave me alone
where we going
don’t leave us alone

My Lucky Pal
03:52
|
|||
stand by the black spring of wonder
bury your case where they’ll never know
crushed by the weight of our plunder
don’t disappoint me friend
just want my paradise of fools
dance like the fireflies in June
hanging upside down your clown
spinning round my lucky pal
I love your ways
don’t let the past pull you under
open the gate where the heather grows
hold on to nothing grow stronger
no printed lines to know
just want my paradise of fools
dance like the fireflies in June
hanging upside down your clown
spinning round my lucky pal
I’ll wait for you
stand aside from father’s house
hanging upside down my cloud
I’ll wait for you

The Mess You're In
03:37
|
|||
when I'm outside walking I think of the ways we live
moon on the water eclipsed by the mist
the whole world's changing from pain into bliss
look at the way she puts all the things in her drawer
out in the distance the city birds swarm
an old old man's praying for winter to warm
long time baby
sweeping up the bitter dust of old dreams
killing hard time getting high so lonely
it's the mess that your in
the river boat's singing, the poor kids are ringing the bell
her face in the mirror's giving her hell
I can't forget it the pain that you felt
long time baby
sweeping up the bitter dust of old dreams
killing hard time getting high so lonely
and the mess never ends

Into The Lately
02:53
|
|||
here there for a while
in the open wonder of the day
into everything you know
are you out there waiting for the way
who knows the rain goes
I begin to wonder
into the lately
I begin to wonder
here there for a while
in the open valley looking on
over to the hill beyond
are you out there waiting for the way
|
||||
7. |
||||
go on now and return to the earth
you’ll die if you stay here too long
go back little one
go on now, return to the sea
take this skeleton key to open
as the violet comes to play
you dance upon her wave
let it roll
let it roll
|

Feathers
05:45
|
|||
lose the buttons on your dress
and lay yourself cross my bed
hold me till the end
feel the warmness of your breast
your glass eyes as the harpoon fills your nest
want me till the end
pearls of rainfall crown your hair
and I’ll hide my face in the feathers of your wing
babe, your the woman of my dreams
pale the moonlight on your skin
your flowers blow through the wind
love me till the end
pearls of rainfall crown your hair
and I’ll hide my face in the feathers of your wing
babe, your the woman of my dreams
you’re the right one for me
|

9. |

over the hills singing a song
just follow the road nobody’s on
taking it slow moving along
at the wink of an eye you’re already gone
then he lays down in the shade of a tree
and falls fast asleep
then you wake up to the sound of the rain
it’s much too late
moving along letting it go
just follow the path nobody knows
the moon in the pond’s starting to glow
you’re singing a sing nobody knows
|
||||
10. |
||||
stay for awhile
and take what you want
cause I’m ready for the real thing
and this waiting feels so lonely
games that you play
are pains in my day
and when I’m better, I still feel hopeless
without your feathers, I’m alone again
you awaken my soul
like rain on the road
you’re the stillness of a river
in the cool breath of the dawning earth

It's A Perfect Day
02:47
|
|||
good morning friend
I’m thinking of you
I hope you’re feeling fine
when the world feels sad
just remember
the clouds will pass on by
just close your eyes
the bright sun will shine again on you
it’s the perfect day for going under
they can’t find us down there
we’ll build a bridge across the water
we’ll breathe the high mountain air
the past is through
there’s only this magic moment with you
the tall green grass needs some mowing
when the morning comes we’ll make a start
the big red boat wants some rowing
with a helping hand we’ll go far
the coast is clear
the new day will find you waiting here

The Soft Hills Los Angeles, California
LA-based project The Soft Hills create a visceral take on soft-psych indie rock, calling to mind the hypnotic melancholy of
the Red House Painters as well as contemporaries like Grizzly Bear or Radiohead.
Songwriter Garrett Hobba started the project in Seattle in 2007. The band, which involves a rotating door of friends and musicians, has toured several times through the US and Europe.
