got to get myself to santa cruz, wake up in the morning next to you. telling you i finally have come through, got to get myself to santa cruz. drive all night is the thing that i do, to coffee on the stove, an orchard view. a dog barks, i kiss you on the lips. i have waited all my life for this.
no stone left i haven’t turned, but one — everyone falls in love, who does. & i hear you say the bus is gonna come — radio play surf & sun for everyone. when i wake up, the pillow’s wet for you & santa cruz.
i can’t tell you where my years have gone. in a trailer in a dry wash, singing songs. plane over the bay, fly to l.a.
— look down at the half-inch hills, and you ride a bike up the empire grade, see red earth on a bulldozer blade, live our hopes, on a slope into town — that light as birds, our kids fly, feet on the ground.
no stone left i haven’t turned, but one — everyone falls in love, who does. & i hear you say the bus is gonna come — radio play surf & sun for everyone. i hear you say the bus is gonna come — radio play surf & sun for everyone. when i wake up, the pillow’s wet for you & santa cruz.
