When This Blows Over

Dreaming of Embarcadero
waiting on a transit train
Wondering how heavy
this loneliness could weigh

The autumn leaves of last year
I'd surely spring for a share
There was a time in my life
when I could be anywhere

So, when this blows over
when this blows over
I'm coming over to see you again

Pacific highway
you drive slow and learn fast
checking your rear view mirror
is no window to your past

File through the photographs
recall where I've been
close my eyes, will away my sighs,
until I hear the waves of Marin

So, when this blows over
when this blows over
I'm coming over to see you again

I've been making lists
of the missing and the missed
We can summer together
if we can winter this

When this blows over
When this blows over
I'm coming over to see you, my friend
