On the edge of the world out in the night darkness On a path of dusty brush & eucalyptus There's tall grass moving in the wind On the edge of a cliff over water I could die in The sun's hanging low over the ocean Sand in my hair cool sand under my feet Pink clouds And the moon coming out to join me And the heartbeat rhythm of your gold soul Beating low California, Carolina It's a dry summer again I miss you over me Rain falling soft & warm in bed Highbeans sweep around the edge of the mountain Etching out in light some line of the hills Wrapped up with a blanket around Waves on the rocks below You were my abalone boy The heartbeat rhythm of your gold soul Beating low California, Carolina It's a dry summer again I miss you over me Rain falling soft & warm in bed You were a gem
