Settling down with warm glow woodstove and kerosene
Peace you're looking for, peace you'll find
In the tangled mad cliff sides and crashing dark
Of Big Sur, of Big Sur
Rapturous ring of silence, Pacific fury
Flashing on the rocks, the sea shroud towers
The innocence of health and stillness in the wilds
Of Big Sur, of Big Sur
The whole surface of the world as we know it now
Will be covered with the silt of a billion years in time
I see as much as doors will allow
A long way from the Beat generation
Here comes the nightly moth to its nightly death
In Big Sur, in Big Sur
The best thing to do is not be false
The rocks of the valley left no howl of complaint
And I'm just a sick clown and so is everybody else
In Big Sur, in Big Sur
