-Verse -

I descended a dusty gravel ridge

Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge

Until I eventually arrived

At the place where your soul had died

-Verse -

Barefoot in the shallow creek

I grab some stones from underneath

Waiting for you to speak to me

-Verse -

In the silence it became so very clear

That you had long ago disappeared

And I curse myself for being surprised

That this didn't play out like it did in my mind

-Verse -

All the way from San Francisco

As I chase the end of your rope

'Cause I've still got miles to go

-Verse -

I want to know my fate

If I keep up this way

Its hard to want to stay

Aw - a - y

Then everyone you meet

Will all seem to be asleep

And you wonder if you're missing your dream

You can't see your dream

Just can't see your dream

Your dr - e - am.........

Then is started getting dark

And I trudged back to where the car was parked

No closer to any kind of truth

As I must assume was the case with you
