Lyrics
How could California kill a man who once had everything
In his hand
He walks all alone on down the street
Lost feeling oh so incomplete
Will you tell me_ how could it be
In this land of dreams_ land of dreams
Their first date was a party
A surprise party for three
Then long over-nighters followed
Down by the sea
And then they wondered
How could this all be true
There must be a reason she said
He brought me to you
Their feet were wet and their hearts were young so_
They lost all time_
In the morning when they'd rise
With love dots on their mind
California killed a man who once held everything
In his hand
He walks all alone on down the street
Lost feeling decimated_ so incomplete
Will you tell me_ how could it be
In this land of dreams_ land of dreams
She walks into her garden
Her favorite place to be
Where daisies all surround her there
And tall shady trees
And she often waited
For all the birds to sing
And there she'd listen to_
The love songs they bring
Her favorite ones she hope they'd last_
All day long
'Cause soon the darkness of night would come
And she'd_ be all alone
California killed a man who once held everything
In his hand
He walks all alone on down the street
Feeling lost depleted_ so incomplete
Will you tell me_ how could it be
In this land of dreams_ land of dreams
