Lyrics
Monterey
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.
I can hear the road call
I can hear the road call out my name
A journey made
Mercy paid
An old refrain
To light the way
I can see the North Star
I can see the North Star overhead
I can see the North Star
I can see the North Star from this bed
Beneath the sky
The night betrayed
Rescued by
The Milky Way
Summon out the rain clouds
Someone should hear how loud we sing
Blinded by the notion
Of fog in an ocean, all around
Oh Monterey
How can I say
I'll always stay
And slip away
I can show the world, ma'
I can wake the world out from her sleep
I can show the world, ma'
I don't fear the world from my two feet
A prayer to keep
To hide away
Our love will read
The ash and clay
Of Monterey
Oh Monterey
How can I say
I'll always stay
And slip away
Oh Monterey
