California Time

Well you walk and you talk, barefoot and sign
Oh, I know what you mean, California time
See my spirit and me are not doing fine
At the edge of the nation, things start to unwind

California time

When you walk and you talk out on the line
Where the sand turns to sea, California time
Far away, yesterday, are left behind
Just the sound of the ocean and salt spray in my mind

California time

I'm driving north along the coast
If there's a heaven, I know I'm close
Your postcard scenes are in my dreams
But don't think that they're why I came. Oh

Reach your arms out to me, whisper you're mine
Now my sun sets on you, California time
Though completion I seek, jigsaw I find
I'll come back for the pieces that I've left behind

California time
