(Pack - Drummond)

Sometimes I think about the only way
That I'll ever see life beyond L.A. is dying
I sit in the corner of a hotel room
With a room service menu and I'm looking at the moon
I'm crying

I'm out here waiting, praying, trying to keep from sayin'
That I don't miss you, though I do
You've got me shaking, praying, trying to keep from sayin'
That I don't miss you, though I do
You know I do...

Livin' out here you soon come to know
That it ain't how good you are as much as who you know and how you fake it
Working this dive it's a matter of time
'Cause I'm a good lead player got a way with a line
And I can make it

And when the day breaks dawn
Something is in my room
When all my faith is gone
Something begets my gloom

I'm out here waiting, praying, trying to keep from sayin'
That I don't miss you, though I do

You've got me shaking, playing, trying to keep from sayin'
That I don't miss you, though I do
Well, you know I do
Yes.I do

Sometimes I think about the only time
That I'll ever be happy in my own mind is dying...

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
