From the recording Manalay Blonde
Lyrics
Faded pictures in Kodachrome
California style
Venice Pier standing all alone
Wearing a counterfeit smile
That’s the way it always was with us
I guess we tried to hide
But there’s things that the sunshine can never reach
We keep locked up inside
Anytime you want me to go
Change your mind and ask me to stay
I guess now that I’ll never know
What I do to drive you away
And I guess we had a decent run
Weigh the cost of tears we cried
But the common ground that we lost and won
Now we’re on different sides
I drove down to the beach this morning
Saw the dawn light shining through
Looked just the same as your blue eyes blazing
I can’t get through to you
Anytime you want me to go
Change your mind and ask me to stay
I guess now that I’ll never know
What I do to drive you away
Lady of the canyons
We went so far
Lady of the mountains
Like a falling star
Lady of the desert
Chasing your mirage
Lady of the moonlight
Wonder where you are
