The Clearlake Sessions – Lyrics
1 Sparky's Burgers
It’s a shock, but we’re so hot
Come dine at Sparky’s Burgers
What we’ve got, the rest have not
Come dine at Sparky’s Burgers
Food that fills you to the top
Each bite sparks, you’ll never stop
Bring the kids, and your Old Pop
Come dine at Sparky’s Burgers
Calls for malts are clamorous
Salads all look savorous
Wait not till you’re ravenous
We’ll fill you if you’re cavernous
Our fries, designed to surprise
Lush pies, sublime, hypnotize
Pure meat’s a treat none can beat
Feeds our Armies, and the Fleet
Go down the block, not in hock
Come dine at Sparky’s Burgers
We’re the spot no lad’s forgot
Bring dates to Sparky’s Burgers
We’re the best you’ll ever know
Inside, drive-in, or, to go
Where the taste leaves afterglow
Come dine at Sparky’s Burgers

2 You Are Gone
You are gone, just like a summer fever
You are gone, and, yet your scent still lingers
Was love wrong, used by a great deceiver?
A broken heart, a lonely song … you are gone
The highlights, shadows of our loving
In hindsight that have come to nothing
That felt like, nothing I’ve felt before
Now nevermore
You are gone, I was your main believer
You are gone, your passion was delivered
Am I strong, not when all is considered?
I’d receive you, now, again, yet … you are gone
Those dark nights, lost in loves splendor
We held tight, delights long remembered
Charmed midnights that I came to adore
Now nevermore … not ever more
You are gone, just like a summer fever
You are gone, and, yet your scent still lingers
Was love wrong, used by a great deceiver?
A broken heart, a lonely song … you are gone
You are gone … you are gone

3 Longings
I have longings
They try to humble me
Gorgeous ladies dressed for spring
Hot jazz, and symphonies
Roller coaster rides
White wine, just slightly dry
An appetite I can’t hide
Fast cars I love to drive
I have longings
Oh, what they put me through
But, the greatest of them all
Is for you
The way you touch me
Your kisses so sweet
Our soft caresses
Melt me each time we meet
If you are not near
I long for that ecstasy
That tingling of fever
Whenever you’re next to me
I have longings
Yet, what can I do?
When,
What I long for most of all
Is you

4 We Were Once
[him]
Well hello, how long has it been?
Don’t seem to know where to begin
Never thought we’d meet this way
Thinking back, it’s like yesterday
We were once, walking hand in hand
We were once, kissing at the door
We were once, running through the sand
But, we don’t do that any more
We were once, strolling through the mall
We were once, both pulling at the oars
We were once, watching leaves turn in fall
But, we don’t do that any more
[her]
I recall always going weak
Each time you’d brush against my skin
Oh, how my heart would leap
When caught by your silly grin
[him]
I recall my burning passion
More than I could ever stand
Couldn’t resist our attraction
Even now, can’t say I can
We were once, enchanted lovers
With warm thoughts of growing old
But, in time, our hearts grew colder
Bringing enchantment to a close
We were once, the greatest lovers
We were once, the best of friends
We were once, made for each other
But, now, all that is at an end

5 The Laundromat
Sitting ‘round the corner Laundromat
That’s the place I do my laundry at
For an hour I make certain that
My clothes are clean, and I am gone
Screaming children running
Here, and there
Using languages from everywhere
Young lovers coupling without a care
When my loads finished I am gone
Aye, aye, yai, yai
Aye, aye, yai, yai
Aye, aye, yai, yai
In just an hour I am gone
Then, one day, came in, to my surprise
A lovely lady, with dark green eyes
Asking for help, and would I oblige
I couldn’t help myself, but nod
Her wash started, we began to chat
Of her country far from where we sat
A land of beauty, where her heart’s at
As in a daydream, I was gone
Aye, aye, yai, yai
Aye, aye, yai, yai
Aye, aye, yai, yai
I closed my eyes, and I was gone
For many weeks, then, we’d sit and chat
While doing clothes at the Laundromat
My heart she’d stolen, as quick as that
Yes, just one kiss, and I was gone
We plan to travel to her land of birth
Most lovely garden,
You could find on Earth
Where we’ll have children
But, we’ll marry first
A few more days, and it’s “so long”
Aye, aye, yai, yai
Aye, aye, yai, yai
Aye, aye, yai, yai
My heart is hers, and we are gone
