California Dreamer

California dreamer

Tell me why did you go?

I carved your ever fading figure

Into the ever dying snow

I'll be around

I'll be around

I'll be around

Like a teenager in town

Where all the other young lovers are found

And I think I mighta heard you on the radio

But the radio waves were like snow

And you were dreaming of Los Angeles

While I was singing songs you wrote

You quietly gave away the winter clothes I made for you

While I made angels in the snow

I would have left if you just asked me to

Or come to me before the preacher

Now you're surviving

And I thought I mighta heard you on the radio

But the radio waves were like snow

And I thought I mighta heard you on the radio

But the radio waves were like snow

Do the young stay pretty?

Do the pretty stay quick?

You know, but you never surrender

The city doesn't belong to you anymore

California dreamer

You dream of seasons that never die

You go to oceans that never touch the ice

You dream of seasons that never die

You go to oceans that never touch the ice

You dream of seasons that never die

You go to oceans that never touch the ice

I surrender, the city to slender

Creature's getting younger and younger

And I think I mighta heard you on the radio

But the radio waves were like snow

And I think I mighta heard you on the radio

But the radio waves were like snow

Do the young stay pretty?

Do the pretty stay quick?

You know, but you never surrender

The city doesn't belong to you anymore

California dreamer

I'll be around

I'll be around

I'll be around

Like a teenager in town

With all the other young lovers, their mothers have been found
