Select language to translate this lyric
Manzanita growing wild on the hillsides
Where sage and eucalyptus fill the air
Through the years I dream of returning
But in my heart the manzanitas there
Her parents never liked it when I took her
Walking in the canyons after sundown
Through the cactus, sage and manzanita
Until we found a secret place to lay down
In the wintertime, the rain beats on my window
And in spring I watch the cherry blossoms blow
So far from my youth in California
So far from a boy I used to know
repeat I see my daughter's face in the mirror
And I wonder if she'll do what I have done
And walk with her love in the canyons
Then leave his arms, turn away and run
They built houses and highways near the hillsides
And I married and divorced twice since then
But there's still manzanita in the canyons
Where I pray someday I'll walk with her again
repeat
