Sequoia Memories…Capo @ 5

C
Off the coast of California
Where the dolphins ride the waves
We stood and watched them from the cliffs above
Until the sunlight went away
Then we slept in ancient shadows
Underneath the redwood trees
Now the warmth we shared so freely
Is just Sequoia Memories

Those old trees might live forever
And we know our life is short
But why must Love be so much shorter
And the dreams that Love supports
I stand here by the river
And I wonder what went wrong
And the best that I can do
Is try to catch a glimpse of you

Now I’m alone and I accept we had to part
But my state of mind
Tells a different story to my heart

Our stories might be different but our states of mind the same
Yours might be Oklahoma. Maybe Kansas is to blame
Or a girl in Indiana. Maybe a boy out on the coast
Or the girl in New York City is the girl you think about the most

CHORUS

Off the coast of California
Where the dolphins jump and play
We stood and watched them from the cliffs above
Until the sunlight went away
Then we slept in silent shadows
Underneath the redwood trees
Now the life we shared completely
Is just Sequoia Memories
