Santa Barbara - World Party

Going down to Santa Barbara

Gonna watch the sun go down

Think how dreams of people fade

But the world still spins around

Peace and love will be reborn

Sure as the waves will come

Did you think you could hold back the dawn

Try to block out the sun?

Down in Santa Barbara

Black and white, and colour too

I set them down from memory

Before my eyes the cavalcade

Performs it’s own assembly

This sad and funny comic drama

I wish my mind was stone

That savours all the passing many

But knows itself alone

Down in Santa Barbara

There’s more to life then being hip

Or hanging upon the ground

Its a doorway that you’re standing in

Ssh!

Can you hear the sound?

The thunderclouds float on the sea

The lightning in the heart

All that’s gone is you and me

Love stops and then it starts

Down in Santa Barbara
