Zuma
Beach
All Words and Music by Annie Rapid
I
was born in late December
Out west in California
I can still remember
How her sun would split
A blue blue sky
And how we lived all her landscapes
My friends and I
When I was a child
I caught all them speeches
About what I'm suppose to
Pledge allegiance to
I ran to hills high overlooking
These distant valley views
That I once shared with you
Chorus 1
It gets cold here
Round late September
Oh my mind she wanders
Back to there and I remember
Stars at night out on Zuma Beach
And they seemed so close
So out of reach
And we'd be talking and laughing
And we'd be getting high
Oh my, oh my friends and I
Marc there was that night
You got thrown in jail
We didn't have the cash between us
To set your bail
But we stayed up all night to help out you
Cuz we were all such friends
And that is what friends do
Michael lives in Paris now
And he's so far away
But I still feel him anyhow
Through all these years
We have remained friends
Still there's so much between us
That's been left unsaid
Chorus 2
It gets cold here
Round late September
Oh my mind she wanders
Back to there and I remember
California and her blue blue sky
And how we lived all her landscapes
My friends and I
Oh my, oh my friends and I
Sandra she died late last year
She took the dream away with her
Bur it made the dream more clear
Cuz our fathers
Have forsaken us
And our heroes
Never really came for us
Sometime....she come
To me in a dream
She say It's okay
Nothing is as it should seem
And it's okay it all stopped making sense
It's what happened to us
When we lost our innocence
Chorus 1
The boys well they're all married now
I don't see them anymore
But their wives don't like me anyhow
And I don't know what they're doing
With their lives
But I'm still wandering
These landscapes by and by
And I moved to this tired old city
When I stopped build buildings
You thought I was crazy
Well maybe I'm just more willing to
Hold onto dreams we dreamt
When we were only twenty two
Chorus 2
