Carpinteria

Sitting on a bank Watching wildflowers wither As hills reflect the sapphire bloom As my mind goes blank It ponders while I think about her As clouds role and feel my lone gloom I wish I'd never her face Mind was wiped left with no trace While out at sea My fractured heart begins to sever Starved and split to it's core Where the mountains sprawl Where rocky shores hug up oh so clever Where my love washed up ashore I long for where the surf meets sky So hello never says goodbye Cus oh darling you don't compare With your vibrant flair To the craze and glare Of those who don't care And oh darling I live for your smile For your laugh and your style And I'll go that mile If it takes yet awhile Skating down Sandyland Road Watching clouds pierced by the sunset The spring air oh brisk flies by And still she laughs the same As if to tell me not to forget The memories and send them to the sky And as the sun dipped out of sight I watched her heart lose its light Cus oh darling you don't compare With your vibrant flair To the craze and glare Of those who don't care And oh darling I live for your smile For your laugh and your style And I'll go that mile If it takes yet awhile As thoughts of that December night Invade my mind, keep me confined I wish I had the chance To leave them all behind I'd leave them behind On the beaches of Carpinteria Now I'm here today A mangled man who's soul is weathered Yet I still sit and comply And still she laughs the same As if to tell me to forget The memories and send them to the sky And even when it seems cliche It's best to leave then if to stay
