|
You watched your hand hold the pen, |
|
and write the note, but it wasn't you. |
|
And every single word was wrong, |
|
But every word you worte you knew was ture. |
|
|
|
And as you stepped into the night, |
|
you wondered how this ever got so damned comfused, And again you cry. |
|
In this darkness all alone. |
|
The bitter taste of the california goodbye. |
|
|
|
You watch the desert fall away the mountains, |
|
and to forest green and rivers blue. |
|
An you glance down at your watch and wonder, |
|
what he's thinking now that is already noon. |
|
|
|
And then you think you'll chance the radio again, |
|
Though the last time every song just made you cry, yes it did. |
|
and as you touch dial another tear falls, |
|
for the california goodbye. |
|
|
|
There are dreams that we can keep, |
|
and there are stars that shine through the space though it's cold and deep. |
|
Dream that we can keep, oceans rise and fall |
|
and desert winds don't sleep. |
|
|
|
Tomorrow you'll be home again, |
|
a thousand memonries down the road from yesterday. |
|
and if you're not too late, |
|
you might see, baby, brother pick his things and walk away. |
|
|
|
But somewhere deep inside, |
|
you know an aching heart can never run and hide. |
|
And then you, you wanne die. |
|
As the sun sets fire to the desert sky, a curtain falls, |
|
On the california goodbye. |
