if this is Monterey… Lyrics

So we made it through the day

Another one to drift away

Into the fog

And love if this is Monterey

The town in which the bay desists

From its swing

Then we can walk it off our separate ways

Just tell which road you'll take

So we don't meet

On some rainy street tucked in the shade

You always loved Washington

If only for yourself

But

Don't call it a shame, don't call it a fright

I just wanna watch the waves

Pass us by

I'm not an optimist at heart

I just want a perfect love

For us all

I know that may not come along

But somewhere in pacific grove

I found it once

So

Don't call it a shame, don't call it a fright

I just wanna watch the tides

Roll us by

Don't make it ok, don't make it alright

I just wanna kiss your restless body up and down the moonlit watercourse tonight
