Wandering in pale veiled starlight
Hoping for a new light
Wanting a sunrise painted in purple skies
Wondering how I got by
With wells that long ran dry
Quiet dreams held under my tongue
I’m leaving California
Tired of dreaming in failed orchards
In a fog that chills my bones
Wanting a home I’m proud to call my own
Searching for a new life
Going to rid myself of old strife
Dreaming of making a world with you
I’m leaving California, I’m going to leave it all behind
Deserts are wide open
Flowers have all grown in
I’m finding myself here in your arms
Dancing in the moonlight
Going to fill my life with new heights
Ever longing to be with you
In leaving California, I’m already home
