I went to the coast
She opened her arms
Her gentle breeze
Her sparkling charms
The crash of her waves
The salt in her spray
The subtle hint
Of a better day
Kaleidoscope show
From light upon high
Helped me to know
My dreams they were nigh
So long in the valley…
…the valley so drear
I knew right away
Something better was near
A few miles west
To the sun-drenched coast
I found what was best
And my heart loved most
She opened her arms
She need not boast
There’s no more to say
When I go to the coast
