Crystal

Crystal came to California Leaving Omaha behind Out looking for a pot of gold Her mama told her she would find She lives out by the ocean And she loves to tend the land So every single day She carves a mermaid in the sand As she dreams of the day she'll finally swim away To her castle underneath a sapphire sea She beckons, come with me Life has left her looking for it Even though she's only 21 The crow's feet on her chiseled cheeks Are beaten by the blazing sun Still her lips look like a ruby Underneath her emerald eyes They try to hide her precious pearls But then release them when she smiles As she dreams of the day She'll finally swim away To her castle underneath a sapphire sea She beckons, come with me And we'll sail out to the edge of the horizon Way out where the water meets the sky And we'll wash away all of our sorrow And then we'll fly, fly on home Crystal came to California And she loves to tend the land So every single day she carves a mermaid in the sand Yeah, every single day she carves a mermaid
