El Matador

Matador sweeps the veil

From the last young day of my life

Malibu tides inhale

Santa Ana Winds from behind

Wade out into the water

No more chances this year

I've busied myself all summer

My day for swimming is here

Yes it's time

Seaside revelations

All those dreams and visions of mine

Washed up like a vacation

Lost as I wasted my time

Looking through my dark glasses

I see smiles on the faces of friends

But time keeps pushing me on now

And I'll ride this wave 'til the end

Please don't go away

Stay awhile, stay awhile

Please don't go away

Stay awhile, stay awhile

Say goodbye to the weekend

And the last of the summertime sun

Driving off the end of a decade

So many things to be done

September and the trees are restless

Wind chimes blow in the dark

Lying on the couch defenseless

With Blue, Clouds, Court and Spark

Please don't go away

Stay awhile, stay awhile

Please don't go away

Stay awhile, stay awhile

Please don't go away

Stay awhile, stay awhile

Please don't go away

Why don't you

Stay awhile, stay awhile
