Half Moon Bay

[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
