Story Behind the Song
I said: "paint me a picture of your Guardian Angel."
She Said: "ok, but you have to write me a song."
I said: "what should it be about?"
She said: "O, anything, I don't care."
I said: "no, you have to name something."
She said: "ok. the Sea Of Cortez."
I'm still waiting for the painting.
Lyrics
Sea Of Cortez
Take off your dress and lay down beside me
You're a beautiful girl, I'm here to remind you
I know you don't listen to what anyone says
I'm taking you to the Sea of Cortez
Named for a man who came from the East
Sailed the long ocean, fought with the beast
In the name of the father, the name of the son
He was looking for gold, I'm only looking for one
Like me he don't hide the thing that he was
Planted his flag, stood for his cause
I'm not saying he's right or saying he's wrong
But he gambled his soul to win or be gone
Over the water and under the stars
With the wind in the sails, the sky in my arms
Give us food for the journey, at the end a long rest
We're going out on the Sea of Cortez
Take off your dress and lay down beside me
You're a beautiful girl, I'm here to remind you
I know you don't do what anyone says
I'm taking you to the Sea of Cortez
