Words written about a trip to (Big Sur, California) on a church missalette in Washington, DC with music started in my brother’s living room the evening before.

lyrics

The sky came crashing down. The mountaintops tumbled back to the sea. I was there for you, you were there for me. The wide world opened up from sea to shining sea. I was holding on to you, you were holding on to me. Is it not the end of the world, staring at the edge of the world? No direction home, the hardest roads we walk alone. Winding down and out, up again and back around. Is it not the end of the world, staring at the edge of the world? Don’t let go of the wheel, darling, there’s no telling how far we’ll fall. Let’s take a break kick our legs in the wind and watch all the sea lions down on the sea wall. Daylight pouring out, sunrise over Bixby Bridge. Lost my head in sound, we’re down but we’re not out.
