lyrics
It came to me last night alone
I’ve turned a stranger in my home
Afraid of what it was, our fears
How California’s lent her ear
And how we stumbled ‘round this town
Drunken
Our aching grief was laid to rest
All through the night
Our feet will lead us to the sound
We will break out
O’ how I know it’s just like me
Take this cup and drink it slow
The night you’ve made will finally fall
We’ll walk for miles and long to stay
But California has her way
And lo’ we will find
(I can’t be seen)
Our way tonight
(We will be safe)
Our calls over the sea
(They will return)
And I always dream
