Tami Mulcahy

Half an hour out

And eight more up ahead

The music should be loud

But I turned it off instead

Into the silence I descend

Lost in thought in the purr of the engine

I’m Leaving LA

Off to greener skyline

I’m gonna capture

My fruit on the vine

You’re the one who told me

Seek and you will find

How was I to know

Leaving LA

Meant letting me go

The rolling hills of Highway 5

Have turned into the flat

My eyes are on the road

But my heart is turning back

But for what, what would happen then

I can’t bear another long, sad goodbye again

Chorus repeat

Bridge

I keep hearing you say

You’re so behind me

Cause in the rearview mirror

Is the wisdom of your way

I knew you couldn’t come

You didn’t ask me to stay

And for that, I love you even more

For giving me freedom with an open door

I’m Leaving LA

Off to greener skyline

I’m gonna capture

My fruit on the vine

You’re the one who told me

Seek and you will find

How was I to know

Leaving LA

Meant letting me go…off to greener skyline

Letting me go…seek and you find

You’re letting me go

California Weather

Heading south to San Francisco I pulled off on a whim

Found myself along the ocean in the headlands of Marin

Just past Ft Baker

I sat out under a tree

Stared back at the Golden Gate

And thought about you and me

Chorus

Our love and the great Pacific

Can rise up and roar

When the fog comes rolling in

It gets dark and cold to the core

But when the sun is shining

And it shines most all the time

It doesn’t get any better, than

California Weather

The sailboats out on the bay try to stay on an even keel

Cause even on the calmest day it takes a steady hand on the wheel

It’s easy to get caught up

In what’s your fault and what’s mine

We live in the land of shifting ground

And tread lightly on the fault line

Chorus Repeat

Bridge

So pour a glass of wine

Put your hand in mine

Let’s do a little dance

And pray for RAIN!

Lalala lalalala, lalala lalalala

We’re ten degrees of 75

Roll back the roof and let’s drive

Mendocino to San Diego

It doesn’t get any better, than

Our love and the great Pacific

Can rise up and roar

When the fog comes rolling in

It gets dark and cold to the core

But when the sun is shining

And it shines most all the time

It doesn’t get any better, than

California Weather, California Weather

California Weather, California Weather

California Weather, California Weather

This Is It

I watched you run into the waves

Laughed as you shook off the cold

Then you turned your face to the sun

All I saw was your silhouette

Framed in gold of a California sunset  

And in that moment

Like few moments

I felt something pure

In that moment I knew for sure

This Is It

This Is It

I lie there with my body bare

Somewhere between excitement and pain

There was no turning back

I thought it would all feel strange

But strangely enough I welcomed the change

Cause in that moment

Like few moments

I felt something pure

In that moment I knew for sure

This Is It

This Is It

Oh, Your blue eyes hold me

In an ocean of possibility

It’s as clear as a day in Half Moon Bay, yea!

Cause in that moment

Like few moments, I knew

Cause in that moment

Like few moments

I felt something pure

In that moment I knew for sure

This Is It

ThIs Is It

This Is It

It’s as clear as a day in Half Moon Bay

Play House

Hey baby what ya want to do today

I’m thinking we just might stay

Here in our own little house and

Play House

The world outside is cold and grey

Perfect weather to hide out from the fray

I could just lay in your arms and

Play House

I’m feeling chocolate pancakes

Bring em’ on back here to bed

Turn on cartoons and laugh like two kids with nothing to do

But lie around all morning til it’s afternoon.

Champagne and OJ

Kick off time is 2:28

Let’s push record and make our own

Replays….

In slow mo….

Hey baby I just gotta say

I could spend my whole life this way

Here’s hoping someday

We’ll have 2 maybe 3

Little kids to play

Here is our own little

Play House

Play House

Here in our own little

Play House

KAHANA SAND

You sit there in your beach chair

Drinking a pog and rum

I sit here in my beach chair

Thinking you might get me another one

Cause I’m busy reading my trashy novel

Supervising pails and shovels

Chorus

Oh, Bury me in the Kahana Sand

Let me forever hear my children playing

Where the waves break on the coral reef

And the palm fronds gently swaying

It’s no chores, sunscreen wars

Bodies flying in the surf

The red flag is raising the guard

And I’m just praying nobody gets hurt

And as the sun dips down behind Lanai

The low of conch shell bids goodbye

Chorus repeat

Bridge

Oh Mahalo Maui

Your Ohana lives in me

As I look across this channel

And think of waters we have crossed

We have fought against the current

Nearly drown in pride and in loss

But we kept our heads above water

To find ourselves, to find each other

Rich in family and friends

Where all other cares drift away on the trade winds

Chorus repeat
