lyrics

It's a different kind of weather now
The wind carries portents and desiccated leaves
The things that matter
Distilled to their essence
Love more urgent
I need your presence with me

There's a road that leads
Out to Manzanita
Turn up the tape deck and drive
It winds and weaves
Through the rain and the trees
To Manzanita by the sea

From the windows of that house
Watch the storms roll in
Battering the haystacks
Further down the beach
Wave after wave
Shape the contours of the coastline
Carving stone, twisting branches
The rushes and the reeds
It took us years
To find each other in the crowd
And oh we didn’t hold back
Come the ravages of time
There’s nothing I can’t take
As long as I’m looking at your face

Gulls summoning the sundown
Begrudging it obeys
Oil tanker silhouettes sit on the horizon line
The sky is ever-changing
In parallel angles
A colorfield, mirror bright
Descending into dusk
Wave after wave
Shape the contours of a lifetime
Turn up the tape deck and drive
Reel and spin ’til we’re back again
In Manzanita by the sea
