From California Lyrics

From California lyrics

Uncommon amount of the time at home

Hardly a world on the telephone

Finally find the time to get to know ya

Still mapping it out like a master plan

Something to do with my idle hands

Write you a letter addressed from California



It's vivid and strong in my memory 

An absence that smacks of abandoning 

Led to the battle that ultimately destroyed us

I'm nothing if I don’t know your mistakes 

The pill is as bitter as I can take

It twists like a blade when I leave for California



La dala da dada da da da da da da

La dala da dada da da da da da da



I hope that you know this is killing me

It's all in the name of the family

We only can play the cards the dealer dealt us

The end of the cycle is closing in

With you I see new hope begin again

There suddenly seems to be promise in California 



La dala da dada da da da da da da 

La dala da dada da da da da da da 



As heavy as all this is weighing me, believe in the words I am promising

I'm still here for her

Distance is only an obstacle 

Hardly a match for a miracle 

I'm finally ready to go to California
