Spent my days 

with a woman u

nkind,
              
Smoked my stuf

              
f and drank al

       
l my wine.

Made up my min

d to make a ne

w start,
              
Going to calif

              
ornia with an 

              
aching in my h

  
eart.
     
Someone told m

e theres a gir

l out there
              
With love in h

              
er eyes and fl

              
owers in her h


air.

Took my chance

s on a big jet

 plane,
              
Never let them

              
 tell you that

              
 theyre all th

     
e same.
         
The sea was re

d and the sky 

was grey,
              
Wondered how t

              
omorrow could 

              
ever follow to

 
day.
             
The mountains 

       
and the canyon

s started to t

remble and sha

ke
              
As the childre

              
n of the sun b

          
egan to awake.

Seems that the

 wrath of the 

gods

Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
              
I think I migh

         
t be sinking.

Throw me a lin

e if I reach i

t in time

Ill meet you up there where the path
              
Runs straight 

      
and high.



 
To find a quee

n without a ki

ng;
              
They say she p

              
lays guitar an

              
d cries as she

    
 sings.
           
Ride a white m

are in the foo

tsteps of dawn
              
Tryin to find 

              
a woman whos n

              
ever, never, n

           
ever been born

.
             
Standing on a 

hill in my mou

ntain of dream

s,
              
Telling myself

              
 its not as ha

              
rd, hard, hard

         
 as it seems.
