St. Vincent
San Bernardino
[Verse 1]
We got in your car and we hit the highway
Eastern sun was rising over the mountains
Yellow and blood red bits
Like a kaleidoscope

[Verse 2]
And flaming swords may guard the Garden of Eden
But we consulted maps from earlier days
Dead languages on our tongues
Holding onto our last hope

[Chorus 1]
And the day was bright and fine
And the highway sign said
"San Bernardino welcomes you"

[Verse 3]
I checked us into our motel and filled the bathtub
And you got in the warm, warm water
I pulled petals from my pocket
I loved you so much just then

[Verse 4]
And it was hard but you were brave, you are splendid
And we will never be alone in this world
No matter what they say
We're gonna be okay
[Chorus 2]
We were safe inside
And our new son cried
"San Bernardino welcomes you."
