Some days the fog in monterey comes   Blowing from the grove above, and then tears away   The drifting patches lift and fold   Then sunlight cuts them white and cold   In monterey -- fog comes, oh, then   It tears away      A heart sick lover comes to stay;   She leaves the one she loves behind,   And then tears away.   She walks the hill in sudden wonder;   Is she dead or just undone?    She's lost her way -- love comes, oh, then   It tears away      Some nights this girl in monterey   Lies dreaming in her room above, then tears away:   Her eyes are on her lover's face;   He smiles, and she can hardly wait --   Is it night or day? -- dream comes, oh, then   It tears away      But now that morning's on it's way   Too soon the dreamer's drowned in fog that tears away   The clouds that cover monterey   Crowd by as if they're here to say   "we never stay -- she comes, oh, then   She tears away"      Some days the fog in monterey comes   Blowing from the grove above, then tears away;   It comes--oh, then   It tears away.
