The Beach Boys
California Saga (Big Sur)
[Verse 1]
Cashmere hills filled with evergreens
Flowin' from the clouds down to meet the sea
With the granite cliff as a referee
Crimson sunsets and golden dawns
Mother deer with their newborn fawns
Under Big Sur skies and that's where I belong
[Chorus]
Big Sur I've got plans for you
Me and mine are going to
Add ourselves to your lengthy list of lovers
[Verse 2]
And live in canyons covered with a springtime green
While birds and flowers to be heard and seen
And on my old guitar I'll make up songs to sing
Sparklin' springs from the mountainside
Join the Big Sur rivers rushing to the tide
Where my kids can search for sea shells at low tide
[Chorus]
Big Sur, my astrology
It says that I am meant to be
Where the rugged mountain meets the water
[Verse 3]
And so while stars shine brightly and up above
Fog rolls in through a redwood grove
And to my dying fire I think I'll add a log
