Lyrics

i can hear the road call
i can hear the road call out my name
a journey made mercy paved
an old refrain to light the way

i can see the north star
i can see the north star overhead
i can see the north star
i can see the north star from this bed

beneath the sky
the night betrayed
rescued by the milky way

summon out the rain clouds
someone's sure to hear how loud we'll sing
blinded by the notion of fog and air and ocean all around
oh, Monterey how can i say i’ll always stay then slip away?

i can show the world, ma
i can wake the world out from her sleep
i can show the world, ma
i don't fear the world from my two feet

a prayer to keep, to hide away
our love will reap the ash & clay of Monterey
oh, Monterey how can i say i’ll always stay then slip away?
