I spent my days with a woman unkind
She smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to California with an aching in my heart
Someone told me there is a girl out there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Took my chances on a big jet plane
Never let them tell you that they’re all the same
The sea was red and the sky was grey—I wonder how tomorrow could ever follow today
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake, and the children of the sun began to wake

Seems that the wrath of the Gods got a punch on the nose and it started to flow—I think I might be sinking
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time I’ll meet you up there where the path runs straight and high

To find a queen without a king, they say she plays guitar and cries and sings
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn, I’m trying to find a woman who has never been born
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams and telling myself it’s not as hard as it seems
