The first fire of fall
The coyotes call
An owl surveys the city
It's a challenging climb
And there isn't much time
Before the sun goes down
Seems like a pity
Up here there's no one around
Lights come on over town
The wind sounds just like the sea
I wish that you could see
The orange-purple sky
The moon coming out of the clouds
Even now after everything
I would run to you
If only I wasn't so proud
But I walk it alone
Shadows cross the hills before me
Another evening in L.A.
Try to remember
That all is passing
Stars light up, then they fade away
Birds are all crying and I keep on trying
To forget that you're not here with me
Oh I wish that you could see
The orange-purple sky
The moon coming out of the clouds
Even now after everything
I'd still run to you
If only I wasn't so proud
But I walk it alone
