Mulholland Queen - Jonathan Wilson

You are perched up on the ridge of town

Mmm, you are my lookout

Will you sing the secrets in all twelve keys?

Ah dreamer, have you dreamed to leave?

I’ve been looking for a maker to take me in

So pretty lady, where do I begin?

Up Mulholland

Travel by machine

Carve the canyons

My Mulholland queen

Show me all the world behind those eyes

Oh baby, you’re so blue and wise

Oh, test me baby, make me wait

Teach me what to appreciate

A thousand glances, a thousand days

Sweetheart, let me count the ways

Arrest me honey, make me smile

Let me make this worth your while

Up Mulholland

Travel by machine

Carve the canyons

My Mulholland queen

A miracle those two souls would meet

On some Angel’s Point where the hearts they speak

With the babies breath in a crown-like shape

Just framing your features;

your neck’s very nape

I’m lost as we drive down the canyon road

You lean over, you tell me that you’re in love

So I toss and I turn and I smile in my dream

Where I’ve been there before, where I’ve felt like a king

Through your laugh, I can breathe in a childlike air

With you dear, I’m in awe of a creature rare

With your tender smile and your pretty little dress

With your jazz in your heart, you don’t need all the rest

As the days pass, the nights are our silver screens

From the curves of Bel Air to Topanga Creek

As we hear what the masters have sang us before

All the Billie and the Chet and the Pharaoh of yore

Through your touch, I can feel where your heart has been

Through the flashes and fog, I can see where and when

Under those big eucalyptus'

Where your grasses are green

Where you sway under the heavens

And your dominion is every…
