go there now...

restaurant on the water
spices galore
funny how i keep going back
to california
even when i'm there already

what am i doing here
i don't know if i'll ever fit
and you said you were doomed
to be the waitress forever yet
there is so much more than this
michele you never knew
the century that
you left behind
you slept through the wheel
somewhere in new mexico
gallop faster girl,
a night train took your life
and left a lonely girl behind

i'd like to go back
the floating fetish
how i miss you
you never knew your life girl
you just wanted to meet your daddy

i understood why you left
did i leave you out of my life?
you were right, you know,
the boy did break my heart

you sometimes appear in my dreams
laughing at your joke
that it was all just a game,
you just had to get away
and you laugh and toss your hair
but it's not funny, not at all
that was hell HELL on a young girl
that
i never knew
never knew

you just wanted to live here
out on the water
and i will see you since
i go there
so often in my dreams
