In Monterey

meet me out in Monterey
we'll drive along the coast highway
stand on a rock out in the sea
I'll snap a photo for a memory
and someday I will see it in my book
and recall your face wearing that look
in Monterey

meet me out in Monterey
we'll walk the beaches for the day
of all the fish out in the sea
you were the only one who captured me
and without your presence by my side
it is no surprise the vista died
in Monterey

leave me out in Monterey
I'll be alone here either way
now all my friends are off to sea
so I will wait here for my destiny
and in time I will chance upon your name
and pretend I met you just the same
in Monterey
