High a top a mountain lookin' down to Panga Canyon I came to see the blue pacific in the night The stars are like a miollion dancin' diamods on the water And my lover's arms're wrapped around me tight And almost empty bottle of rose sits on the table Like the echo of a sweet and gentle song I never stop and wonder why I came to California But I often wonder why I took so long Meanwhile back in Cleveland her alarm clock's loudly ringin' And she's crawlin' out to face another day A sleepy little boychild is tuggin' her pyjamas sayin' mama why did daddy go away But it's Saturday and it's bowlin' den and then the beauty parlor And the wishy-washy laundry and then home And California's just a piece of fiction on her roadmap And surely not the place her man has gone meanwhile back in Cleveland life goes on The waves at Malibou today were perfect for the surfin' And I hope I didn't soak up too much sun We started once to take a boat to Catalina Island But lyin' on the beach was too much fun There's gonna be the screaming Sunday night at Universal And a party up at Roger's place till dawn I never stop and wonder why I came to California But I often woder why I took so long Meanwhile back in Cleveland the rain is slowly fallin' And it's gonna be another lonely night Someone said she's workin' in a cafe waitin' tables And I'm sorry and I hope that she's alright But the endless maze of PTA's and queus and station wagons And cuttin' grass and highly mortgaged homes Drove me from the lovin' arms I otherwise would die for And make me seek a purpose of my own meanwhile back in Cleveland life goes onTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
