East L.A. Breeze

[Verse 1]
Winter is fading away
Mockingbirds showed up today
I smell the sea
The East L.A. breeze
The freeways are moving so smoothly
I looked in a coffee-house door
I couldn’t believe what I saw
No cigarettes, no live instruments
Lonely folks typing on laptops

[Chorus]
One more time
Tell me it’s fine
‘Cause when I, when I feel this way
Seems like nothing’s ever been okay

[Verse 2]
Gone is the city I knew
I’m 21st century blue
It all fades away
Like an old summer’s day
We all drift and settle like salt spray

[Chorus]
One more time
Tell me it’s fine
‘Cause when I, when I feel this way
Seems like nothing’s ever been okay
