Verse 1] We chased the morning sun across the bay Sails full of salt and California haze Your hair like ribbons in the ocean spray Bare feet on the deck, we let the world drift away Golden sand still warm beneath our skin Laughing like the tide was pulling us in One perfect day, no clocks, no end in sight Just you, me, and the Pacific light [Chorus] Last light at the marina, turning gold to wine Friends gathered round, the day slipping behind Glasses raised high to the sky’s farewell Budding love for California… and ourselves Oh, we’re falling, we’re falling Under that last light at the marina [Verse 2] Tara’s voice just floating on the breeze Wordless like the waves whispering please Richie’s guitar ringing soft and true Echoes of the road he used to cruise We tied her up gentle at the dockside slip Fire in the sky, cool drink on the lip Stories flowing easy as the evening came Two hearts waking up to the very same flame [Chorus] Last light at the marina, turning gold to wine Friends gathered round, the day slipping behind Glasses raised high to the sky’s farewell Budding love for California… and ourselves Oh, we’re falling, we’re falling Under that last light at the marina [Bridge – Richie Furay harmony lead] And the stars come out like they’re welcoming us home No need to chase tomorrow, we’re already gone One more round for the dreamers on the water One more smile for the ones we love… right here… right now… [Final Chorus – full band + Tara wordless textures rising] Last light at the marina, painting the whole damn sky We found more than a harbor when we looked in each other’s eyes Glasses raised high to whatever comes next Budding love for California… and all the rest Oh, we’re falling, we’re falling Yeah we’re falling… in love… Under that last light… Last light at the marina… [Outro – piano & electric guitar swells, Tara vocal textures fading like the tide] Last light… last light… California… you and me… Last light… at the marina…
