A Kind of Hush

I'm going way down south to Louisiana, tonight
Well, I'll just close my eyes
And everything's alright
And though I'm really far away
I'll make my get away
And no one need really
Know that I've been gone

One more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all we had

I'm going way down south to Baton Rouge
Well, I'll just close the door
And turn out all the lights
And all the images dance by
Of folks and friends who lie
Back home where things are slow
And easy going

One more time for the good times
That far out weigh the bad
One more time for the good times
When love was all
When love was all
When love was all we had
One more time

The hardest thing I've ever done
Is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world
For me
The way that people come and go
Thru temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say 'No promises,
Let's keep it simple'
But freedom only helps you say
Good-bye
It took a while for me to learn
That nothin' comes for free
The price I've paid is high enough for me

(*) I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of
A quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's
What I'll find

So here I am with pockets full
Of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me
Tonight
I'm wide awake at four a.m.
Without a friend in sight
Hanging on a hope but I'm alright

Repeat twice (*)

You're up state, up late, and city fed
I'm a California label
From the top of my head,
Forever, ah
See a lot of open sky
When the sun goes down
There's a hot, lot of loving when you come
Around, to free me, ah

In a boat to sail, boat to sail, away, ah
All those letters mailed from a
Boat to sail, away ah
We are riding in a boat to sail

Bare foot, coconut and supermild
Jamaica take a look
At your own child
Forget not
Brian Wilson songs are never left behind
Don't you worry baby, you're a friend of mine
For so long

From a boat to sail, boat to sail, away ah
All those letters mailed, from a
Boat to sail, away ah
We are riding in a boat to sail
We are riding in a boat to sail

You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh, and I can't walk
I'm findin' it hard even to talk
And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you

You came along just like a song
You brightened my day
Who'd believe you were part of a dream
That only seemed light years away

And you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
And you must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you

Some people say the happiness wave
Is somethin' that's hard to find
Into the new leavin' the old behind me
And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you

And I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
And you must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you

You must know what I'm goin' thru
I just can't smile, without you

Don't take your love
Away from me
Don't you leave my heart
In misery
If you go
Then I'll be blue
Cause breakin' up is hard to do

Remember when
You held me tight
And you kissed me
All through the night
Think of all
That we been through
Breakin' up is hard to do

They say that brekin' up
Is hard to do
Now I know, I know
That it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breakin' up
I wish that we were makin' up again

I beg of you
Don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love
Another try
Come on baby
Lets start a new
Breakin' up is hard to do

I beg of you
Don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love
Another try
Come on baby
Lets start a new
Breakin' up is hard to do
Breakin' up is hard to do
