Lyrics for Song: Bixby Canyon Bridge
Lyrics for Album: Narrow Stairs [2008]
I descended a dusty gravel ridge,
Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge,
Until I eventually arrived,
At the place where your soul had died.
Barefoot in the shallow creek,
I grabbed some stones from underneath,
And waited for you to speak to me.
And the silence; it became so very clear,
That you had long ago disappeared.
I cursed myself for being surprised,
That this didn't play like it did in my mind.
All the way from San Francisco,
As I chased the end of your road,
'Cause I've still got miles to go.
And I want to know my fate,
If I keep up this way.
And it's hard to want to stay,
Awake,
When everyone you need,
They all seem to be asleep.
And you wonder if you missed your dream.
You can't see a dream.
You can't see a dream.
You just can't see a dream.
And then it started getting dark.
I trudged back to where the car was parked.
No closer to any kind of truth,
As I must assume is the case with you.
