The Mountain Goats - San Bernardino lyrics
[The Mountain Goats - San Bernardino lyrics]
Eastern sun was rising over the mountains
Yellow and blood red bit's
Like a kaleidoscope
And flaming swords may guard
The Garden of Eden
But we consulted maps from earlier days
Dead languages on our tongues
Holding onto our last hope
And the day was bright and fine
And the highway sign said
"San Bernardino welcomes you"
I checked us into our motel
And filled the bathtub
And you got in the warm, warm water
I pulled petals from my pocket
I loved you so much just then
And it was hard but you were brave
You are splendid
And we will never be alone in this world
No matter what they say we're gonna be okay
We were safe inside and our new son cried:
"San Bernardino, welcomes you"
