One Day Perhaps:
On Russell Malone
Leaving residence
At the Final Arms Hotel
For a misty boulevard stroll
Could be I see you
(Maybe on your way
To meet up with Wes
To go Bumpin’ On Sunset)
You on your side
Me on mine
Then forgoing discretion
I shout across
Love Looks Good On You
Nodding in agreement
He returns a beauty
Listen To The Dawn
