And let the sun set on the ocean I will watch it from the shore Let the sun rise over the redwoods I'll rise with it till I rise no more Talk to me of Mendocino closing my eyes, I hear the sea Must I wait, must I follow? "Won't you say come with me?" "Won't you say come with me?"
lyrics by Kate & Anna McGarrigle... ... RIP Kate aka mother of Rufus & Martha Wainwright
