At the edge and a doorway,TX

California nights lead to California days
I sink past dreams of endless thoughts
As I pack my bag to see the place that calls me
Calls me to it like home
California
The bright lights
The glitz and glamour behind it all
I search to be something more there
To leave this hell hole behind
"On the Road Again" plays over and over again in my head
Will I return to this place of greed and sorrow
Or will I have a new place to rest my head
Only time will tell where I will be
California
Finally to see the sunset over the ocean
Long nights at the bridge of golden dreams
What am I looking for
A bit of me
A sign of love
Some hope for the future
Time to set the past in a bag and throw it in the ocean
Traveling onward
Money in hand
Heart on a sleeve
I pack my bag
While looking up at the sun
California
I will be there soon
My own little piece of heaven
Stored away for years
Always crying out when is my turn
Now it is here
Why am I so nervous
Why am I so scaried
I feel the winds of change blow over my soul and send me on my way
Off I go
Tomarrow is another day as they say
California

Love,
Lady



Live in my world just once and you'll find yourself enraptured.

Hope you arrive in California with sunny days
and a song in your heart for the night.
