Caroline Doctorow Carmel Valley Ride lyrics

Just outside of Carmel Valley
The road bends for a while
It straightens out and then
runs to the ocean
When I think of leaving here
That's where I want to go
I want to take you with me
And ride on that beautiful road

Ride, ride away
Will you take the wheel for a while
And we'll ride, ride away

I'm weak and I am scattered
Like broken bottles at the curb
A mess of guilt and questions

I can't answer
I thought I had you fooled again
You couldn't see the strings
Now I'm the one that's hurting
And begging for your love again

I miss the Carmel Highlands
When everything was fine
Now there's fog rolling in from the ocean
Just watch the Newport evening become
The California dawn
Your mind suspended by the motion
As we ride…
