Driving along the California coast
I see waves outside my window
The sun is setting in the west
Waves are breaking at their crest
The caves below give them rest
They lose their energy there
Reclaimed by the ocean this liquid returns
To whence it came
A California Poppy adorns my eye
Bright orange with the backdrop of the sky
Lush vegetation surrounds me here
The Sutro Baths from a forgotten year
A disguarded can of someone's beer
I linger here and think of times long past
People who swam here now long dead, they didn't last
The latest craze the baths by the sea
Fully covered bodies
Blue striped bathing suits
My time here will not soon be forgot
It heals my soul and pleases me a lot
Hiking, thinking, barely speaking
Lose myself as the sun falls off the ends of the earth
Over in China a new day has given birth
New life is teaming
Children are screaming
The ocean is gleaming
Your eyes are beaming
My music is streaming
I'm not cheesey enough to throw in one more rhyme
I'm about all out of time
So my dear can I have this last dance
And per chance
If another tries to steal me away
With you I'll stay
For you dawned your finest gown
Was for me you came around
In this fleeting moment you exist for me
Enchanted by the sea
The gentle waves
The earthen caves
Where we did go
Made love below
I love you
