Stewart Eastham - Idyllwild, Ca Lyrics
Drove on out from LA, just to give it one more chanceResurrect the place of our first danceThought that that old mountain town would remind us what we hadInspired by the beauty of its landIn that cabin up in Idyllwild, I realized you were a childEverything was play pretend, broken in a way I could not mendIdyllwild, California is a distant memoryIdyllwild, I once adored ya, but I’ll never again seeYour mountains or your treesBusted and beguiled in IdyllwildIn the photos of that trip I don’t recognize my faceI only see a once beloved placeI wish that I could somehow say that I never did love youBut that’s a fact of life I can’t undoThat final night of ecstasy, drunk on wine and fantasyBut in the bright morning light, we both knew we would never be rightIdyllwild, California is a distant memoryIdyllwild, I once adored ya, but I’ll never again seeYour mountains or your treesBusted and beguiled in IdyllwildIdyllwild, I couldn’t bear to see you againToo many memories inside my headIdyllwild, how I miss youSo much more than the goddamn girl who broke my heart in twoThe tragedy of our last kiss is somewhat circumspectLike the final stop before a big train wreckThat old town it showed me what I shoulda seen long beforeLike that raven once said, “Nevermore”Drivin’ back to Los Angeles, our love dissolved into a messBoth our hearts cold as ice, two fallen angels crushed by the nightIdyllwild, California is a distant memoryIdyllwild, I once adored ya, but I’ll never again seeYour mountains or your treesBusted and beguiled in Idyllwild
