lyrics

Big Sur
by Solvej Schou ©

Take the Highway 1 up to Big Sur
Going round, round the bend
See the fog become the ocean
The cool grey velvet ocean
Clear the noise inside your head
Clear the noise inside your head

And when the trees turn into mountains
And the mountains, with the beach below
I'll look outside at the mist of summer
Floating white, white
Over everyone
Floating white
Over everyone

Throw my worries in the ocean
Let the air make my sorrow clean
Rub the city from my eyes
Watch the stars, oh the stars
Cover everything
Watch the stars
Cover everything

And when the winding road slides down
To the cabin in the woods
Where sun shines glass in the ceiling
Later light, only a sliver moon
And I'll tell you that I love you
Wipe the hidden tears from your smile
And above, only the birds in the sky
Oh it's nothing oh it's nothing
But the birds in the sky
Oh it's nothing oh it's nothing
But the birds in the sky

Take the Highway 1 up to Big Sur
Going round, round the bend
See the fog become the ocean
The cool grey velvet ocean
Clear the noise inside your head
Clear the noise inside your head
