Lyrics
0:20I watched the sun come up over LAX
0:23I watched the hills pour east through the plains of Texas
0:27I cleansed myself and wiped my memory
0:34I watched the coast pull close in a western bay
0:37I saw the desert sky in the pouring rain
0:41So I washed myself and wished you'd do the same
0:49'Cause I'm not gonna turn around and tell you Oh now I miss you
1:07And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate
1:15I watched the moon stand up to the Rio Grande
1:19I watched myself rise up from beneath the sand
1:23And I knew that I was here to stay
1:29Maybe my head is clouding up my brain
1:36But I think it's for the best for you to be on your way
1:43'Cause I'm not gonna turn around and tell you Oh now I miss you
1:50And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate
1:57Oh I'm never gonna lie and say without you here it's just not the same
2:04'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade
2:24Meant to fade
2:33Oh I'm not gonna turn around and tell you Oh now I miss you
2:45And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate
2:51Oh I'm never gonna lie and say without you here it's just not the same
3:00'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade
I watched the sun come up over LAX I watched the hills pour east through the plains of Texas I cleansed myself and wiped my memory I watched the coast pull close in a western bay I saw the desert sky in the pouring rain So I washed myself and wished you'd do the same 'Cause I'm not gonna turn around and tell you Oh now I miss you And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate I watched the moon stand up to the Rio Grande I watched myself rise up from beneath the sand And I knew that I was here to stay Maybe my head is clouding up my brain But I think it's for the best for you to be on your way 'Cause I'm not gonna turn around and tell you Oh now I miss you And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate Oh I'm never gonna lie and say without you here it's just not the same 'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade Meant to fade Oh I'm not gonna turn around and tell you Oh now I miss you And you're never gonna get that postcard home from the Golden Gate Oh I'm never gonna lie and say without you here it's just not the same 'Cause a love that's been built on skin and bone was meant to fade
