Santa Barbara

Going down to Santa Barbara
Gonna watch the sun go down
Think how dreams of people fade
But the world still spins around
Peace and love will be reborn sure
As the waves will come
Did you think you could hold back the dawn
Try to block out the sun
Down in Santa Barbara

Black and white and color too
I set them down from memory
Before my eyes a cavalcade
Performs its own assembly
This sad and funny comic drama
I wish my mind was stone
It savors all the passing many
But knows itself alone
Down in Santa Barbara

There's more to life than being hip
Or hanging upon the ground
It's a doorway that you're standing in
Shh, can you hear the sound?
The thunderclouds float on the sea
The lightning in their hearts
All that's gone is you and me
Love stops and then it starts
Down in Santa Barbara
