AUTUMN SUNSET

My Roof is a Drive in the Country

Since Walla Walla has few tall buildings, my calm space is a short drive or bike ride into the surrounding countryside. 

It is there that I can hear this favorite old song playing in my head. 

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

I climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof, it's peaceful as can be

And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin' tired and beat

I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)

I get away from the hustling crowd

And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)

On the roof, the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)

At night the stars put on a show for free

And, darling, you can share it all with me
