Going out to California

Gonna let the water warm my clothes

I'm alone but I'm not lonely

Gonna trade the weather for the Western coast

No don't cry

I'll be back and I'll

Bring the sun to shine

In your eyes

On your shoulders

Sunset Boulevard will strip for money

Mulholland is a long drag for the lonely hearts

Down along the Imperial Valley

Runs a river of homelessness and cinema stars

Don't say

The trip's been done

A hundred thousand times

Cause this one

Is mine

So I will work at what work finds me

And I will take what comfort I can get

I'll be back when I'm good and ready

California doesn't seem to think I'm ready yet

No don't cry

I'll be back and I'll

Bring the sun to shine

In your eyes

On your shoulders
