California

Yeah, yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh)

Golden state of mind,

we were living in a daydream

Driving down the coast,

chasing down the fading light

You were whispering the things you wanted to be

Now I'm looking at the ocean in the dead of night

I still feel the warmth of the summer sun (still feel it

now) But the winter's here and the damage is done

Oh, California, you took my heart away (took it all away) Underneath

the waves, where the memories play

Oh, California,

I still hear your name!

Walking on the boardwalk,

footprints in the sand

I try to find the pieces but they slip right through my

hand

(slip away, yeah)

Every single palm tree is whispering your name

And the setting sun just doesn't look the same

We had the world in our hands (we had it all,

yeah) Now I'm just standing in the rain

Oh, California... (ooh-ooh-ooh)
