San Geronimo Lyrics
somewhere up fifteen miles
sifting through crackling vinyl
lost memories of my youth
are coming into view
between lost hills divide
quietly we sleep inside
lost summers of my youth
i spent them all with you
take ways by withered creeks
lizards sunning in the streets
small kitten stretches through
green empty yards you knew
weekend in san geronimo
love how the starlit skies show
weekend in san geronimo
sentiment within me glows
somewhere up fifteen miles
barefoot on kitchen tile
where nights are warm and true
i'll spend them all with you
weekend in san geronimo
love how the starlit skies show
weekend in san geronimo
sifting through crackling vinyl
lost memories of my youth
are coming into view
quietly we sleep inside
lost summers of my youth
i spent them all with you
lizards sunning in the streets
small kitten stretches through
green empty yards you knew
love how the starlit skies show
weekend in san geronimo
sentiment within me glows
barefoot on kitchen tile
where nights are warm and true
i'll spend them all with you
love how the starlit skies show
weekend in san geronimo

downright amazing, this song.
"lost summers of my youth, i spent them all with you."
this song is terrific, when I need springtime in winter, I put it on... Mark Kozelek (RHP's creator) is a GENIUS !
"Ocean Beach", from which this song is taken, is a true masterpiece. Does anybody know if it refers to a real place ?
San Geronimo is a southern California town/city, as is Ocean Beach.
Well, if they are both towns in California it adds to this very peaceful feeling of the album as Mark must like the beach life. When I listen to the album I find it very relaxing as the songs seem so flowing and simple but amazing. I think it is a little different than Old Ramon and other Kozelek albums.
San Geronimo is a town in Marin County, Northern California. There is a place in San Diego called Ocean Beach, but it more likely refers to the one in San Francisco.
I think it is literally about a weekend spent in San Geronimo when he was younger, presumably with a girl he loved. He's recounting that beautiful weekend with a nostalgic perfection.
