Ressurection Bay

I met her up in Helena, in the state mental hospital I was put there by a judge, boys, she was put there by the same Just one look into her green eyes, Catalina she was all mine She told me of her paradise, called it Resurrection Bay We both knew we were cured, no matter about the judges word On that first day of summer, we made our escape Running through that June night, with them stars as our only light She said that every star that falls lands in Resurrection Bay So me and Catalina, we hitchhiked to Alaska All through them drunken forests, up that Alcan Highway Made it down to the Kenai, on the 4th of July Made love under the exploding sky of Resurrection Bay But Catalina was a strange girl, not long for this world Why they’d put her up in Helena, she would not say She was in love with that water, like a mother to a daughter I watched her smiling face go under, from the shores of Resurrection Bay Now I ain’t nothing but a stranger moving south through your country I‘ve been eating from your orange groves I’ve been sleeping through your days At night I watch the black sky, see them stars go shooting by I know that every star that falls lands in Resurrection Bay
