The saddest eyes she wore
So longing and forlorn
They made me love you more and more

The bluest heart she owns
As she gets more and more alone
As the deepest cello drones

The oldest yard-cat sings
Her mournful bellowing
From branches in a tree

The stillest oceans wreck
With them bring havoc and death
Upon the land they'll sweep

The painful midnight cries
When one leaves the world behind
Leaves the world be
Leaves the world behind

And here in Half Moon Bay
Hear the hum of the highway
Hum of the highway
Hum of the highway
Highway 1
Grey clouds
Muted suns

Down by the footbridge stream
I am walking in a dream
Walking in my dreams

'Cause when her time was through
I could not be there for you
I couldn't care for you

Hear the traffic come
Down the old Highway 1
Down the Devil's Slide it runs

And nothing clears these stains
Not the January rains
Rising in the streets

There by the bay-leaf tree
A lonely bird eyes me
Lonely bird eyes
Lonely bird eyes me

Under the blue moonbeams
I am wandering in my dreams
Walking in my dreams
Wandering in a dream
Highway 1
Grey clouds, muted suns

Highway 1
Grey clouds, muted suns
