It's five after five, I'm off in a flash My work is all done and I'm ready to dash Right into my evening, I've got to relax Cause soon I'll be sleeping, and morning comes fast Most days I spend driving between here and there Because I don't have a free moment to spare I've got to move quickly, can't take time to stare At the miracles happening now, everywhere I don't take much time to do this No, I don't take much time to do this I crest up the hill and I glance at the view The ocean spreads out, endless silver and blue But I gotta keep driving, my workday is through And I'm on my way home, where I've got things to do I might want to cook, and then I've got to eat And maybe I'll clean up, and put up my feet Or maybe I'll make up a song or a rhyme About missed opportunities, having no time INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE But this day is different, I'm off my routine I needed to take in a different scene So I'm taking my bicycle home through the green The air's feeling chilly, my soul's feeling clean It's March, I remember, the whales could be here On the hidden migration they make every year I take a deep breath as I see water fly A grey whale is spouting as traffic flies by & OUTRO
