***life is full of choices and chances
single's dances and double romances
life moves on while stories are told
time can't be bought it's only sold
there's a light that dims each passing day
of sons and daughters lost along the way***
somewhere under a tangerine sky
***it's impossible to read his face
never met the man he tries to replace
too high the gamble, too high the cost
another year taken another year lost
life moves on while stories turn gray
of sons and daughters lost along the way***
**somewhere under a tangerine sky
he's a ghost from the coast, beneath the hot desert sun
the mercury rises and the air is dry, bye and bye
somewhere under a tangerine sky**
***a faded shadow standing in the wind
no longer the man he had once been
wandering lost with thoughts all alone
the price he pays for what went wrong
more and more memories fade away
of sons and daughters lost along the way***
somewhere under a tangerine sky
(chorus x2)
