Fading West with you!
Fading West with you!
The sun goes down for the summer
Middle sky full of water
I am fading westward to
Fading West with you.
Life wont sing like I want it
The traffic blows modern sonnet
The trafffic hums a dirty tune
Fading West with you
I'm headed back to the west coast where I'm from
I'm headed back to the left coast where I belong
California calling me back home
Fading West with you!
Keep my mind over matter
Cause I've seen my hopes shattered
They told me lies I thought were true
Fading West with you
The sun goes down
We were already gone!
Headed back to the west coast where I'm from
I'm headed back to the left coast where I belong
California calling me back home
Fading West with you!
When I'm out alone
Feel like I'm caving in
When you leave me alone
I start to wonder, where have I been?
Where have I been!
Headed back to the west coastwhere I'm from
I'm headed back to the left coast where I belong
Californias calling me back home
California water wont you bring me home
Fading West with you!
Fading West with you!
Fading West with you
