Lyrics:

California dreamer Tell me why did you go I carved your ever fading figure In to the ever dying snow I'll be around, I'll be around, I'll be around Like a teenager in town Where all the other young lovers are found And I think I might have heard you on the radio But the radio waves were like snow And you were dreaming of Los Angeles While I was singing songs you wrote You quietly gave away the winter clothes I made for you While I made angels in the snow And I would have looked if you'd just asked me to Or come to me before the preacher Now you're a survivor And I just thought I might have heard you on the radio But the radio waves were like snow I thought I might have heard you on the radio But the radio waves were like snow Until the young stay pretty, 'till the pretty stay quick You know, but you never surrender The city doesn't belong to you anymore California dreamer You dream of seasons that never die You go to oceans that never touch the ice You dream of seasons that never die You go to oceans that never touch the ice You dream of seasons that never die You go to oceans that never touch the ice Surrender this city to sender Creatures getting younger and younger And I think I might have heard you on the radio But the radio waves were like snow Oh I think I might have heard you on the radio But the radio waves were like snow Until the young stay pretty, 'till the pretty stay quick You know, but you never surrender The city doesn't belong to you anymore California dreamer I'll be around, I'll be around, I'll be around Like a teenager in town With all the other young lovers their mothers may have found California dreamer
