California Lament

It's a long time, been missing you
The miles I've traveled don't seem real to me
It's been a long time, seen your face
And I wonder if these miles bring you back to me
Yesterday morning, driving south
You know I watch the trees go by
I thought of you, wandering through this life alone
And I want to be there when the sun burns the sky
And I want to hold you in the cold, darkened night
And I want to see you in the sunlight and the rain
I don't want to go away again
I don't want to go away again
I get to thinking as the days go by
What is this life we're living for
I call your name at night to the darkness
And I want to be there when the sun burns the sky
And I want to hold you in the cold, darkened night
And I want to see you in the sunlight and the rain
I don't want to go away again
I don' t want to go away again
