Sausalito Lyrics - Conor Oberst - Conor Oberst

Hair blowing in the hot wind 

Time hanging from a clothes pin 

There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna help 

Smell the leather of your new car 

Drive through the desert after night fall 

Sleep on the shoulder keep the stars all to ourselves 

The kinda love that makes my back hurt 

Wearing nothing but a t-shirt 

She's turning over on a mattress made of air 

I close my eyes I see a stair case 

Leading upwards into blank space 

All of creation makes a sound too soft to hear 

So I remain between her legs 

Sheltered from all my fears 

While bikers glide by highway shrines 

Where pilgrims disappear 

I know that trouble's been your good friend 

Keep you company on the weekends 

Keep you company even once your mind was made 

Said it's over and it's finished 

Now a headache is all you're left with 

We're no different I got debts I'd like to pay 

We should move to Sausalito 

Living's easy on a house boat 

Let the ocean rock us back and forth to sleep 

In the morning with the sunrise 

Look in the water see the blue sky 

As if heaven has been laid there at our feet 

So we remain between these waves 

Sheltered for all our years 

While bikers glide by highway shrines 

Where pilgrims disappear 

Where time takes icebergs 

Where fields burn westward 

Where pilgrims disappear
