El Cerrito Place - Charlie Robison

I been hangin' round this place, I been lookin' through your space

I been waitin' for you, I’ve been waitin' for you

All the places you would go, all the people that you know

I’ve been lookin' for you, I’ve been lookin' for you

And all them pretty people up on El Cerrito Place

They all got somethin' in their pockets, all got somethin' on their face

They roll down to La Brea where it meets the boulevard

Singin' hallelujah while they dance over the stars

They all think they’re goin' far

Me I’ve been lookin' for you baby, I’ve been lookin' for you baby

I’ve been lookin' for you baby, I’ve been lookin' for you baby

All night long, all night long, all night long

Somebody said they might have seen you where the ocean meets the land

So I’ve been out here all night lookin' for your footprints in the sand

Did you hear the ocean singing, baby did you sing along

As you danced over the water to some ol' forgotten song

Were you even here at all?

Me I’ve been lookin' for you baby, I’ve been lookin' for you baby

I’ve been lookin' for you baby, I’ve been lookin' for you baby

All night long, all night long, all night long

Somehow I wound up in the desert just after daylight

There’s a Joshua Tree grows that little place you always liked

These pioneer town people they ain’t got too much to say

And if they might have seen you they ain’t givin' you away

Now it’s been two days

Me I’ve been lookin' for you baby, I’ve been lookin' for you baby

I’ve been lookin' for you baby, I’ve been lookin' for you baby

All night long, all night long, all night long

I think I’ll go back to the city, back to El Cerrito Place

That’s the last time that I saw that pretty smile upon your face

I’ve been lookin' for you baby
