Capo 2

            
Going out to California
                            
Gonna let the water warm my clothes
               
I'm alone, but I'm not lonely
                                          
Gonna trade the weather for the western coast
                                              
Don't cry, I'll be back and I'll bring the sun to shine
                             
In your eyes, on your shoulders

Sunset Boulevard, will strip for money
Mulholland is a long drag for the lonley hearts
Down along the imperial valley
Runs a river of homelessness and cinema stars
Don't say it's been down a hundred thousand times
'Cause this one is mine

So I will work for what work finds me
And I will take what comfort I can get
I'll be back when I'm good and ready
California doesn't seem to think I'm ready yet
It's alright, I'll be back and I'll bring the sun to shine
In your eyes, on your shoulders
