They named it the rock Land of the living dead A repose for the rich and famous All the infamous would tell each other's lies Why did they want to tell the truth On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Most were poets And they wrote in basic prose On the walls of their Sunset Boulevard In their nine by five rooms became inspired By the silence in sight of the city On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Just across the bay Battered by the waves On an island in the sun Cool Pacific winds blow Just across the bay Battered by the waves

Sittin' in the sun, countin' my money Fanned by a summer breeze Sweeter than the honey is countin' my money Those greenbacks on the trees Comes a summer shower, drops o' rain falling Sweeter than Christmas chimes Hearing those jingles upon the roof shingles Like pennies, nickels and dimes Tho' it's known that what I own is not a large amount Fields of gold that I behold are in my bank account Yeah, sittin' in the sun, countin' my money Happy as I can be And to top it all When shadows fall I look to heaven and I see There's a silver dollar in the sky Shining down on me Yeah, sittin' in the sun, countin' my money Happy as I can be, yes And to top it all When shadows fall I look to heaven and I see There's a silver dollar in the sky It's shining, shining, shining down on me

I don't need a lot to feel satisfied I just close my eyes let my thoughts run wild Bit expecting way to much reaching out to far A summer breeze let it touch my skin wash away all the cold from my flesh and my bones I'm along with the birds that sing let their song lift me up, song lift me up I'm just sitting in the morning sunshine waiting for my life to turn right And I'm just waiting for love love love love I'm just sitting in the morning sunshine waiting for my life to turn right And I'm just waiting for love love love love I'm just waiting for love Yeah I'm just waiting for that special one So take me by the hand, take away my thoughts Uncomplicated love that kind that will lift me up A summer breeze let it touch my skin wash away all the cold from my flesh and my bones I'm along with the birds that sing let their song lift me up, song lift me up I'm just sitting in the morning sunshine waiting for my life to turn right And I'm just waiting for love love love love I'm just sitting in the morning sunshine waiting for my life to turn right And I'm just waiting for love love love love Just waiting for love yeah I'm just sitting in the morning sunshine waiting for my life to turn right And I'm just waiting for love
