You watched your hand hold the pen

And write the note, but it wasn't you

And every single word was wrong

But every word you wrote you knew was true

And as you stepped into the night

You wondered how this ever got so damned confused

And again you cry in the darkness all alone

The bitter taste of the California goodbye

You watch the desert fall away to mountains

And to forest green and rivers blue

An you glance down at your watch and wonder

What he's thinking now that it's already noon

And then you think you'll chance the radio again

Though the last time every song just made you cry

Wo, wo, yes, it did

And as you touch the dial

Another tear falls for the California goodbye

There are dreams that we can keep

And there are stars that shine through space

Though it's cold and deep, dreams that we can keep

Oceans rise and fall and desert winds don't sleep

Tomorrow you'll be home again

A thousand memories down the road from yesterday

And if you're not too late

You might see, baby, brother pack his things and walk away

But somewhere deep inside

You know an aching heart can never run and hide

Ah, then you, you wanna die

As the sun sets fire to the desert sky

A curtain falls on the California goodbye, goodbye
