Testo di Manzanita

Manzanita growing wild on the hillsides Where sage and eucalyptus fill the air Through the years I dream of returning But in my heart the manzanitas there Her parents never liked it when I took her Walking in the canyons after sundown Through the cactus, sage and manzanita Until we found a secret place to lay down In the wintertime, the rain beats on my window And in spring I watch the cherry blossoms blow So far from my youth in california So far from a boy I used to know I see my daughter's face in the mirror And I wonder if she'll do what I have done And walk with her love in the canyons Then leave his arms, turn away and run They built houses and highways near the hillsides And I married and divorced twice since then But there's still manzanita in the canyons Where I pray someday I'll walk with her again I see my daughter's face in the mirror And I wonder if she'll do what I have done And walk with her love in the canyons Then leave his arms, turn away and run
