Talk To Me Of Mendocino Lyrics - Linda Ronstadt

written by Kate McGarrigle

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 shore 

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
