Santa Monica Dream

Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream

Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine

You tell me stories of the sea

And the ones you left behind



Goodbye to the roses on your street

Goodbye to the paintings on the wall

Goodbye to the children we'll never meet

And the ones we left behind

And the ones we left behind



I'm somewhere, you're somewhere

I'm nowhere, you're nowhere

You're somewhere, you're somewhere

I could go there but I don't



Rob's in the kitchen making pizza

Somewhere down in Battery Park

I'm singing songs about the future

Wondering where you are



I could call you on the telephone

But do I really wanna know?

You're making love now to the lady down the road

No I don't, I don't wanna know



I'm somewhere, you're somewhere

I'm nowhere, you're nowhere

You're somewhere, you're somewhere

I could go there but I don't



Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream

Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine

You tell me stories of the sea

And the ones you left behind

And the ones we left behind
