The Doorbells Are Ringing

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The last little fledgling flew away From outside my window Doves nested throughout the seasons kept me company all year Oh, how I hated to see my last little friend go And my friend's little brother died He left a widow and three children behind Covid is taking so, so many As if last year it didn't take plenty Yesterday was nice, driving down the one Past Pacifica and Farmer John's Pumpkin Farm Past La Honda and Roosevelt Beach Was nice going down memory lane Seeing signs for Redwood City And El Granada and Frenchman's Creek And Poplar and Moss Beach On thе way to Pescadero, craving green chili soup The windows down, thе wind is blowing It feels so nice to be with you We used to always drive down the one When we first met, oh, how it's been so long Driving along the Pacific Ocean to the west Things feel so new again [Verse 2] I'm rediscovering my love for you Two years off has given me a brand new Perspective and a brand new view Being home's been an adventure Miracles happen: my home in the woods didn't catch fire And my place in New Orleans didn't get flooded by Ida And I'm walking more than ever I'm thinking with my head, feeling good things in my heart It's like a brand new start, your long black hair Is as beautiful as ever And your dark brown eyes are like jewelry Your wisdom, a deep treasure When we got to Pescadero, the electric was out But we had a laugh about, it was nice to get out It was a nice drive home, taking in the views to the left and the right It was nice getting home and making love to you at night To feel your soft skin, to taste your sweet lips We've got to take more, more of these road trips The Monterey cypresses along the ocean The little coastal towns, the redwoods, the craftsmen's, the stucco ranch style houses The tidepools, the seagull rocks, the fishing gear Guys fishing for salmon and stripers I wanna live the rest of my life with you here [Chorus] Every night I dream of the last little fledgling Every night I dream, you say I wake up singing I hear the doorbells ringing, the doorbells are ringing The doorbells are ringing Every night I dream of the last little fledgling Every night I dream, you say you hear me singing I hear the doorbells ringing, the doorbells are ringing The doorbells are ringing
