Talk to Me of Mendocino
Wanderlust Whispers: New York to Mendocino Melodies
Lyrics
I bid farewell to the state of ol' New York
Farewell to New York, bidding goodbye.
My home away from home
New York was like a second home.
In the state of New York I came of age
Coming of age in the state of New York.
When first I started roaming
Starting to wander and explore.
And the trees grow high in New York state
Tall trees in New York state.
And they shine like gold in autumn
Autumn trees shining like gold.
Never had the blues whence I came
No blues in the place of origin.
But in New York state I caught â??em
Blues caught in New York state.
Talk to me of Mendocino
Yearning for Mendocino, a place of significance.
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Imagining the sea by closing eyes.
Must I wait must I follow
Uncertain whether to wait or follow.
Wont you say "come with me"
Invitation to come along.
And it's on to South Bend, Indiana
Heading to South Bend, Indiana.
Flat out on the western plains
Traveling across the western plains.
Rise up over the Rockies down on into California
Passing over the Rockies into California.
Out to where but the rocks remain
Reaching a place where only rocks remain.
And let the sun set on the ocean
Watching the sunset on the ocean.
I will watch it from the shore
Observing the sunrise over the redwoods.
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
Committing to rise with the sun.
I'll rise with it til I rise no more
A pledge to rise until no more.
Talk to me of Mendocino
Reiteration of longing for Mendocino.
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Immersing in the sound of the sea.
Must I wait, must I follow
Questioning the need to wait or follow.
Won't you say "come with me"
Requesting a companion to say "come with me."
Won't you say "come with me"
Reiteration of the plea to say "come with me."
