Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The California fires are burning
Every road leads south is closed
Oh my love is waiting for me
How I'll make it to Santa Cruz
God knows
[Verse 2]
There's a river that runs all the way down
I think I can make it by moonlight
People say I must be crazy
But the fire's closing in
And it's time to begin
And no fear no fright no nothings gonna stop me
Being with you tonight
[Verse 3]
'Cause I'm willing
To swim to Santa Cruz
Willing, just to be there with you
Willing, to make it to Santa Cruz, yeah
[Verse 4]
Climb into the water
Sweet courage find me now
The rivers cold against the heat of the fire
So let the tide take me there
Cause there's nothing I won't bear
To be with you is a crazy move
But Baby I don't care
[Verse 5]
Cause I'm willing
To swim to Santa Cruz
Willing, just to be there with you
Willing, to make it to Santa Cruz, yeah
[Verse 6]
Oh, the aching soul
Oh, never have I felt so scared and lonely yet so free
Suddenly so free
And Oh, the aching soul
Oh, never knew 'til now how much I really want to live
So much more to give
[Verse 7]
Oh God this river is so cold
Feel like I'm losing all control
Can't keep my head above the water
And the darkness fills the night
And my soul
[Verse 8]
Tired, I'm so tired
Please Baby know that I tried
Looks like this river might own me
And I know it's too late
When my heart calls I obey
Just know I was willing, I really tried
To be with you tonight
[Verse 9]
Willing, to swim to Santa Cruz
Willing, just to be there with you
Willing, to make it to Santa Cruz, yeah
[Verse 10]
Baby Baby, I'm gonna make it
