Resurrection Bay Lyrics

I met her up in Helena, at the state mental hospital
She was put there by a judge, boys, I was put there by the same.
Just one look into her green eyes, Catalina she was all mine
She told me of her paradise, called it Resurrection Bay.
We both knew we were cured, no matter about the judges word
On that first day of summer, we made our escape
Running through that June night, with them stars as our only light
She said that every star that falls lands in Resurrection Bay

So me and Catalina, we hitchhiked to Alaska
All through them drunken forests, up that Alcan Highway
Made it down to the Kenai, on the 4th of July
Made love under the exploding skies of Resurrection Bay
But Catalina was a strange girl, not long for this world
Why they"d put her up in Helena, she would not say
She was in love with that water, like a mother to a daughter
I watched her smiling face go under, from the shores of Resurrection Bay

Now I ain"t nothing but a stranger moving south through your country
I"ve been eating from your orange groves I"ve been sleeping through your days
At night I watch the black sky, see them stars go shooting by
I know that every star that falls lands in Resurrection Bay
