linda ronstadt - talk to me of mendocino lyrics
written by kate mcgarrigle
© 1975 garden court music (ascap)
i bid farewell to the state of old new york
my home away from home
in the state of new york i came of age
when first i started roaming
and the trees grow high in new york state
and they shine like gold in the autumn
never had the blues from whence i came
but in new york state i got ’em
talk to me of mendocino
closing my eyes i hear the sea
must i wait
must i follow
won’t you say come with me
and it’s on to south bend, indiana
flat out on the western plain
rise up over the rockies
and down on into california
out to where but the rocks again
and let the sun set on the ocean
i will watch it from the sh-r-
let the sun rise over the redwoods
i’ll rise with it till i rise no more
talk to me of mendocino
closing my eyes i hear the sea
must i wait
must i follow
won’t you say come with me
