Last night in the middle of a dream I started thinking bout Russian

Hill
                                        
And Ferlinghetti with his Coney Island mind
                                             
And you and me with some time to fill
                  
We ate in Chinatown we rode the cable car
                           
We did what tourists always do
                                                    
But in the dream you were a movie star and I was someone too
                                             
Was that the two of us in love why did it end so soon
                                                 
I don't believe in fallin out of love I never met the man in the moon
                                                          
If it's so hard to find the key  it's not the singer  it's the tune
             
Sun high in the California sky
                                 
We walked around the beach around Monterey
                                       
True confessions in a Sausalito bar the windows
                   
Shinning across the bay
                         
The age of innocence and searching in the dark
                   
For what we'd never seen
                                                         
And so we could taste the sweetness of our lives in bitter mescaline
                                             
Was that the two of us in love why did it end so soon
                                                 
I don't believe in fallin out of love I never met the man in the moon
                                                          
If it's so hard to find the key  it's not the singer  it's the tune
