California Dreamer

California dreamer
 Tell me why did you go
 I carved your ever fading figure
 Into 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 know
 You quietly gave away the winter clothes I made for you
 While I made angels in the snow
 I never would have looked if you 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 just thought I might have heard you on the radio
 But the radio waves were like snow
 Do the young stay pretty, do the pretty stay quick?
 You know but you never surrender
 The city doesn't belong to you anymore
 California dreamer
 (la la la)
 You dream of seasons that never die
 And you're the oceans that never touch the ice (x2)
 You dream of seasons that never die
 And you're the oceans that never touch the ice
 Surrender, the city asunder
 Pictures, getting younger and younger...
 And I think I might have heard you on the radio
 But the radio waves were like snow (x2)
 Do the young stay pretty, do 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 been found
