It's not just the bedroom where she used to lay her head Or the front room by the fire where we once passed the night instead Though I have left these rooms and gone as far as I could drive Even in the motels along U S 405 Coast to coast and wall to wall It's a memory not much more than five feet tall But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall Coast to coast and wall to wall California seems like someplace I could catch my breath Get my mind off someone who still worries me to death Even though she's gone her memory unlocks every door Haunts me now in places I have never seen before
