[Verse 1]
The saddest eyes she wore
So longing and forlorn
They made me love you more and more
[Verse 2]
The bluest heart she owns
As she gets more and more alone
As the deepest cello drones
[Verse 3]
The oldest yard-cat sings
Her mournful bellowing
From branches in the tree
[Verse 4]
The stillest oceans wreck
With them bring havoc and death
Upon the land they'll sweep
[Verse 5]
The painful midnight cries
When one leaves the world behind
Leaves the world be
Leaves the world behind
[Verse 6]
And here in Half Moon Bay
Hear the hum of the highway
Hum of the highway
Hum of the highway
[Chorus]
Highway 1
Grey clouds
Muted suns
[Verse 7]
Down by the footbridge stream
I am walking in a dream
Wailing in my dreams
[Verse 8]
'Cause when her time was through
I could not be there for you
I couldn't care for you
[Verse 9]
Hear the traffic come
Down the old Highway 1
Down the Devil's Slide it runs
[Verse 10]
And nothing clears these stains
Not the January rains
Rising in the streets
[Verse 11]
There by the bay-leaf tree
A lonely bird eyes me
Lonely bird eyes
Lonely bird eyes me
[Verse 12]
Under the blue moonbeams
I am wandering in my dreams
Walking in my dreams
Wandering in a dream
[Chorus]
Highway 1
Grey clouds, muted suns
Highway 1
Grey clouds, muted suns
