California Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Beneath the moonlit sky
Shadows walk beside the water
Sad goodbyes whispered on the shore
Hear those wind chimes play
They serenade the shadow lovers
Sing and fade away
Like California promises
I will never love another
Wait for me 'til I return
But she never will
He waits for her beside the water
Faithful still to California promises.
