California Time

Well you walk and you talk barefoot and sign
oh I know what you mean - California Time
see my spirit and me are not doing fine
at the edge of the nation things start to unwind - California Time

When you walk and you talk out on the line
where the sand turns to sea - California Time
far away, yesterday, are left behind
just the sound of the ocean and salt spray in my mind - California Time

I'm driving north along the coast
if there's a heaven, I know I'm close
your postcard scenes are in my dreams
but don't think that they're why I came

Reach your arms out to me, whisper you're mine
now my sun sets on you - California Time
though completion I seek, jigsaw I find
I'll come back for the pieces that I've left behind - California Time
