[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
I know this stretch of road, I've been here often
C The ocean rolls as far as you can see Em C The rocky coast is misty in the sunlight D Seagulls flying low are flying free
[Verse 2]
G Their wings are like my memories and desires C Spreading out to carry me along Em C And I remember everything that mattered D The times when I was weak instead of strong
[Verse 3]
G Today the hills are restless with desire C They shudder, shaking all their blossoms free Em C The scent of dusty pines and Eucalyptus D Remind me of the time when I was me
[Verse 4]
G I left you and the rocky coast behind me C Found a way to live without a heart Em C For I had left it throbbing in your keeping D And grew another, praying it would start
[Chorus]
C Em G I loved you like the sunlight on the ocean C D Am D Loved you like the seagulls in their flights C D G Loved you like the stars that shine in heaven C Am D Loved you through the days and through the nights
[Verse 5]
G I hear the saints still pray along the ocean C I see the padres walking in the dawn Em C The bells of Capistrano ring to call them D To pray for us and sing their ancient song
[Verse 6]
G Please pray for me you padres of the ocean C Pray I find my heart among the waves Em C For freedom's left me panting for the bondage D And you can see the light beyond the grave
[Verse 7]
G I know that stretch of road to Santa Barbara C Been here on and off through all these years Em C I know that stretch of ocean as far as I can see D Today I often see it through my tears
[Chorus]
C Em G I loved you like the sunlight on the ocean C D Am D Loved you like the seagulls in their flights C D G Loved you like the stars that shine in heaven C Am D Loved you through the days and through the nights
[Verse 7]
G I know this stretch of road, I've been here often C The ocean rolls as far as you can see Em C The rocky coast is misty in the sunlight D Seagulls flying low are flying free
