 {eot}
 Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh.....
 Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Fade out...
 
 Spent my days with a woman unkind:
 Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
 Made up my mind, make a new start,
 Goin' to California with an achin' in my heart.
 Someone told me there's a girl out there
 With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
 
 Took my chances on a big jet plane.
 Never let 'em tell you that they're all the same.
 Ah, the Sea was red and the Sky was grey:
 I wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
 The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake:
 Children of the Sun begin to wake.... (spoken:) watch out
 
 Seems like the wrath of the Gods got a punch on the nose
 and it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinking.
 Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
 (I'll) meet you up there where the path runs straight and high.
 
 Find a Queen without a King,
 They say she plays guitar and cries and sings: la-la-la-la.
 Ride a white mare in the footsteps of Dawn,
 Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
 Standing on a hill and a mountain of dreams,
 Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems....
 Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh.....
 Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Ahhhhh..... Fade out...
