lyrics

She moved away from PA
To find a better life
The girl from Asbury Park
She headed west on an aeroplane
And I met her working nights
Lost her passion somewhere in the dark

Oh, California
What are you doing to me?
Oh, California
Don't let her fall in love with me

We loved each other's hands
We'd study them in the rain
Two hearts without a home
Or we'd run away at night
And drive to the ocean
But she'd always be alone

Oh, California
What do you want from me?
Oh, California
I can't be the man she needs

She left with him in June
On the longest summer night
And I never saw her again
But the smoke of her ghost
Carried me to the ocean
And I remembered everything

Oh, California
What have you done to me?
Oh, California
You have buried me in the sea

credits

from Songs from a Moon, released April 17, 2010
Stephen Cope played Piano as it rained softly outside
Lily McCabe played Violin in a different season
Katie and Andrew Dwyer sang harmonies together
All else was Jaron
