“Words We Never Said”

A folky story-song about love, memory, and time, set at Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz. From first kisses under the arches, to a proposal almost lost to the tide, to a life well lived and a final goodbye, this is a tender ballad in the spirit of troubadors — plainspoken, heartfelt, and timeless.''

[Verse 1]
I met her down in Santa Cruz, the tide was rollin’ in,
We walked along the shoreline, I don’t recall just when.
We kissed beneath the arches, carved by ocean’s hand,
Two young fools in love, with hearts we couldn’t understand.

[Chorus / Hook]
Natural Bridges, where the sea meets the sky,
We started our story, just her and I.
Waves keep on crashin’, but the memory’s mine,
Natural Bridges, a natural shrine.

[Verse 2]
Years went by, I brought her back, the ring hid in my hand,
I dropped down on one knee, my feet sank in the sand.
A wave came up and bowled me, the box near washed away,
But she just laughed and kissed me, and said “yes” anyway.

[Chorus]
Natural Bridges, where the sea meets the sky,
We built up a life, just her and I.
Waves keep on crashin’, but the memory’s mine,
Natural Bridges, a natural shrine.

[Bridge]
Life is a bridge, from one shore to another,
You walk it alone, or you walk it with a lover.
Stone wears down, and the years will fall,
But love outlives it all.

[Verse 3]
Now I stand here older, the years have had their say,
She’s gone on before me, I miss her every day.
I scatter her ashes where the tide still sings,
Beneath those old stone arches, where forever begins.

[Final Chorus]
Natural Bridges, where the sea meets the sky,
I’ll love her forever, though I’ve said goodbye.
Waves keep on crashin’, but the memory’s mine,
Natural Bridges, a natural shrine.
