Part1.
Are you out there
Where the rainy days begin

To feel rather sad
And the walls are closing in
Like the darkness around me

It's so hard to look away
When the daylight doesn't ever stay
Above this dull apartment view

Oh, I will surround you

Part2.

It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
So I'll devise a plan
And cut out a door in my new living room floor


Part3.
The porch light is so bright

That I will quickly sneak down the dark metal shape
Of the rusty fire escape


Part4.
I bought a one way ticket
Cause I knew I'd never see the ground

Unless I was aboard a jet plane
And we were going down


Part5.
When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise

And I woke up beside the ocean
I realized I must be in California


Part6.
Aloha, my happy west coast friends
Do you feel alive

When the breaking waves arrive
And wash all around you


The beach homes and ocean side
Are quite well known by the evening tide
And we can sleep where we reside

With redwoods around us
The blue air is up there
And could I bring it down

I bottle it up and save it for a sweet summer night

I bought a one way ticket

Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
Unless I was aboard a jet plane
And we were going down

When I wiped the tears from my eyes
The warm water took me by surprise
And I woke up beside the ocean

I realized I must be in California
I must be in California


Am I awake or is this just a dream?

The new year is out here

And I will make a lovely list
Of your charms
So I'll never feel alone in your arms
