Holy Rose

I heard it's getting warm out west So you could always come back home Back home we still get snow sometimes But I know you've got a love out there So you should tend to them and hope they tend to you Love is something that needs tending to You looked at the smoke It was like you'd seen the ghosts of everyone you've ever known Hovering over the hills You're still from the west coast It's the only home you've ever known Holy Rose of California I heard there's been some fires up north The old stable burned down Thank God they got the horses out And I know it's getting hot as hell But at least you've got a light to lead the way At least you've got a way to warm your face You looked at the smoke As if you'd seen the ghost of a long-lost love Somewhere above the lights of the town Oh, the old west coast It's the only coast you've ever known Holy Rose of California You looked at the smoke It was like you'd seen the ghosts of everyone you've ever known Hovering over the hills You're still from the west coast It's the only home you've ever known Holy Rose of California Holy Rose of California Holy Rose of California Holy Rose of California
