lyrics
If the watchman calls the darkness in
And pulls the shade between the sun and canyon
The stars float in among western winds
As if they thought our love was too dimly lit
If the watchman calls the darkness in
And frees the sun from its worldly prisons
To light wherever it feels most appropriate
And you were shining
I saw you shining
If the fires burn out on the devils playground
The billboards block even the rain from their clouds
Its not winter here but you can still fly south
But know the cold awaits when you come back around
When what fades in the mirror looks like where you started
And California falls flow down the horizon
I’ve never seen the sun set on the ocean
I think I’ll try it
I think I could try it
Yesterday we were in moab when I blink I think I can still see the red
Headed north thru south Dakota where we almost lost hold of our heads
Every song sings California when I touched the water I saw clearly why
Nothings brighter than the sunshine when over a pacific bed it lies
