California Sunset
+1987 Mark Cohen
Northeast wind is rolling off the sea
It scatters birds and branches with its motion
I face the cold and think about Marie
Who's living by another ocean
Chorus
Save one more sunset for me, Marie
Save one more sunset for me
If I could be beside your diamond dancing sea
Save one more sunset for me
Boston is a hundred shades of gray
Everything is frozen and unmoving
Wonder why I ever went away
Or what it was that needed proving
California sun it has a way
Of telling you it's easy to discover
The time to change your life, to find your way
The time to leave a gentle lover
I can see her walking on the beach
The California sunset is entrancing
She dances lightly, just beyond my reach
But here it's much too cold for dancing
