It's not just the bedroom

Where she used to lay her head

Or the front room by the fire

Where we once passed the night instead

Though I have left these rooms

And gone as far as I could drive

Even in the motels along U S 405



Coast to coast and wall to wall

It's a memory not much more than five feet tall

But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall

Coast to coast and wall to wall



California seems like someplace I could catch my breath

Get my mind off someone who still worries me to death

Even though she's gone her memory unlocks every door

Haunts me now in places I have never seen before



Coast to coast and wall to wall

It's a memory not much more than five feet tall

But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall

Coast to coast and wall to wall



I'm rolling down the highway or strolling down the hall

When things are going my way and then a memory comes to call



Coast to coast and wall to wall

It's a memory not much more than five feet tall

But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall

Coast to coast and wall to wall
