Almost Heaven

from GOODBYE EL DORADO by Russ Tolman

/

lyrics

Red sky this morning, the fire’s getting closer
Sun through the smoke, making everything oranger
The desert’s all aglow
it’s a strange color, as the smoke wraps around
Protecting us from the hot sun, throwing shadows on the ground
Throwing shadows on the ground
Southern California’s almost heaven to me
With perpetual fun in the summer sun
It’s the only place to be
It’s almost heaven to me
Red boulders and a tiny sliver of blue, between the ground and the grey
The sand glows orange, a breeze it comes
And the birds fly away
You were my sweet thing, and I thought it would always be
But now I’m here in the desert smoke With just your memory
