California Dreamer

California dreamer

Tell me why did you go

I carved your ever fading figure

In to 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 might have 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

And I would have looked if you'd just asked me to

Or come to me before the preacher

Now you're a survivor

And I just thought I might have heard you on the radio

But the radio waves were like snow

I thought I might have heard you on the radio

But the radio waves were like snow

Until the young stay pretty, 'till 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

Surrender this city to sender

Creatures getting younger and younger

And I think I might have heard you on the radio

But the radio waves were like snow

Oh I think I might have heard you on the radio

But the radio waves were like snow

Until the young stay pretty, 'till 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 may have found
