|
Counted the stars on the 4th of July
|
Wishing they were rockets bursting into the sky
|
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
|
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
|
|
As fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away
|
Our orchestrated paradise couldn't make you stay
|
You dance with the horses through the sands of time
|
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino County Line
|
|
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
|
To remind me of a time
|
These pictures and these photographs
|
Let me know I'm doin' fine
|
I used to make you happy once upon a time
|
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
|
|
The two of us together felt nothin' but right
|
Feeling you near immortal every Friday night
|
Lost in our convictions left stained with wine
|
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
|
|
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
|
To remain me of a time
|
These pictures and these photographs
|
Let me know I'm doin' fine
|
I used to make you happy once upon a time
|
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
|
|
I don't talk to you too much these days
|
I just thank the lord pictures don't fade
|
I spent time with an angel just passing through
|
Now all that's left is this image of you
|
|
Counted the stars on the 4th of July
|
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
|
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
|
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
|
To remind me of a time
|
These pictures and these photographs
|
Let me know I'm doin' fine
|
We used to be so happy once upon a time
|
Once upon a time
|
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
|
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
|
