lyrics

Sophia makes her way down to the Bay
By the only way that she knows
She overheard me say I'm afraid
That I can't love on my own
And if I stayed I could waste my soul

So she left a note
Said "If lonely love is your home
I'm going on alone back to the coast I'm from"

So I dropped my change into a fiddle case
And the street band played as I ran
Down to the Golden Gate where I called her name
I said "Sophia wait for your man!"
And I heard her laughing "Would a woman ask the same?"

She'd made a boat of reeds
And she was trading kisses for breeze
Sophia not at home it's not a home I need

I took a knee said
"Sophia dear marry me,
Take my everything and take this boy to sea"

We used her dress for sails, my button hole nails
And we're steering with my guitar
Pink on Pacific waves we navigate the stars
