California Saga: Big Sur

Cashmere hills filled with evergreens
Flowin’ from the clouds down to meet the sea
With the granite cliff as a referee

Crimson sunsets and golden dawns
Mother deer with their newborn fawns
Under Big Sur skies and that’s where I belong

Big Sur I’ve got plans for you
Me and mine are going to
Add ourselves to your lengthy list of lovers
And live in canyons covered with a springtime green

While birds and flowers to be heard and seen
And on my old guitar I’ll make up songs to sing
Sparkling springs from the mountainside
Join the Big Sur river rushing to the tide

Where my kids can search for sea shells at low tide
Big Sur my astrology it says that I am meant to be
Where the rugged mountain meets the water

And so while stars shine brightly and up above
The fog rolls in through a redwood grove
And to my dying fire I think I’ll add a log
