lyrics

Now we both know it’s through
And every time I look at you
I wonder how we got so blue
And I’ve been lonely too
I’ve seen what loneliness can do
Tired of being alone with you

California keeps you from the truth
California keeps you clueless

And people always change
They move around and rearrange
But somehow you remained the same
You wonder why wonder why wonder why nothing for you goes quite right
Alone tonight

California keeps you from the truth
California keeps you clueless
Somethings coming for you coming soon
California keeps you useless

If you go to the Southern shore lay some flowers on the ground for
If the Valley calls you home
Lay some flowers on the roads we walked
Lay some flowers for the way we were
Lay some flowers on the sand for

California keeps you from the truth
California keeps you clueless
Somethings coming for you coming soon
California keeps you useless
