California Way

Текст песни Tim Bluhm - California Way

Steinbeck's Eden is dry and dusty
The wind rose grown of greener days
The well pump handle is long since rusty
The wind fall rain and valley haze

So just keep going wild honey
Somewhere northward from Monterey
Up above the fields the fog is sunny
One more wonderful summer day

Mine is a paradise made for one
There used to be more but that is now gone
Where you went when you went no one knows
I treasure the lingering smell of your clothes

Though I love the fields of wildflowers
Never once did I carry them away
To lay on your grave in the soft early hours
'Cause that's not the California way

I went back to that place
And I swam into the riptide
It beckoned me in and I could not stay away
It spared me my life though I begged it to take me
But that's not the California way
California way
