[Lyric] Mercury News (Lucy Wainwright Roche)

You can have another but take me as a lover
I will be a secret that you keep
Someone to remind you and yes to leave behind you
And someone to recall when you're asleep
And though I'm hoping that you'll hear the many things I say
Just remember all of them are off the record anyway

Meet me by the water
Someone's wife and someone's daughter
None of these will be my name today

Just under two million this city
Has it's fill of people living deep within it's walls
Fueled by valley power pumping watts for every hour oh
And you would be the brightest of them all
And if we say goodbye like we always will
I will watch you in my memory on that distant hill

Meet me by the water
Someone's wife and someone's daughter
None of these will be my name today
Take me to the ocean the ever changing motion
The highway 17 express will do
Living on a fault line we don't have a lot of time
I read it in the Mercury news
I know there must have been a way
To fight the better fight
To shine like santa Clara country on it's clearest night

Meet me by the water
Someone's wife and someone's daughter
None of these will be my name today
