Big Sur |
I know this stretch of road, I’ve been here often |
The ocean rolls as far as you can see |
The rocky coast is misty in the sunlight |
Seagulls flying low are flying free |
Their wings are like my memories and desires |
Spreading out to carry me along |
And I remember everything that mattered |
The times when I was weak instead of strong |
Today the hills are restless with desire |
They shudder, shaking all their blossoms free |
The scent of dusty pines and Eucalyptus |
Remind me of the time when I was me |
I loved you like the sunlight on the ocean |
Loved you like the seagulls in their flights |
Loved you like the stars that shine in heaven |
Loved you through the days and through the nights |
I left you and the rocky coast behind me |
Found a way to live without a heart |
For I had left it throbbing in your keeping |
And grew another, praying it would start |
I hear the saints still pray along the ocean |
I see the padres walking in the dawn |
The bells of Capistrano ring to call them |
To pray for us and sing their ancient song |
Please pray for me you padres of the ocean |
Pray I find my heart among the waves |
For freedom’s left one panting for the bondage |
And you can see the light beyond the grave |
I loved you like the sunlight on the ocean |
Loved you like the seagulls in their flights |
Loved you like the stars that shine in heaven |
Loved you thru the days and through the nights |
I know this stretch of road, I’ve been here often |
The ocean rolls as far as you can see |
The rocky coast is misty in the sunlight |
Seagulls flying low are flying free |
