Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon) Lyrics By The Mamas The Papas

    i used to live in new york city
    everything there was dark and dirty
    outside my window was a steeple
    with a clock that always said 0

    young girls are coming to the canyon
    and in the mornings i can see them walking
    i can no longer keep my blinds drawn
    and i cant keep myself from talking

    at first so strange to feel so friendly
    to say good morning and really mean it
    to feel these changes happening in me
    but not to notice till i feel it

    young girls are coming to the canyon
    and in the morning i can see them walking
    i can no longer keep my blinds drawn
    and i cant keep myself from talking

    cloudy waters cast no reflection
    images of beauty lie there stagnant
    vibrations bounce in no direction
    and lie there shattered into fragments

    young girls are coming to the canyon
    and in the morning i can see them walking
    i can no longer keep my blinds drawn
    and i cant keep myself from talking
