Counting the stars on the 4th of July Wishing we were rockets bursting into the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
As fierce as Monday morning feeling washed away
Our orchestrated paradise couldn't make you stay
Dance with the horses through the sands of time
As the sun sinks west of the Mendocino County line
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time that
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doing fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
The two of us together felt nothing but right
Feeling nearly mortal every Friday night
Lost in our connections left staying with wine
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time that
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doing fine
I used to make you happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
I don't talk to you too much these days
I just thank the Lord pictures don't fade
I spent time with an angel just passing through
Now all that's left is this image of you
I counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting into the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time that
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doing fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
The Mendocino County line
The Mendocino County line
The Mendocino County line
The Mendocino County line
