West Coast Friendship

Are you out there where the rainy days
 Begin to feel rather sad
 And the walls are closing in
 Like the darkness around me
 It's so hard to look away
 When the daylight doesn't ever stay
 Above this dull apartment view
 Oh, I will surround you
 It's quite clear that I'm stuck here
 So I'll devise a plan
 And cut out a door
 In my new living room floor
 The porch light is so bright
 That I will quickly sneak down
 The dark metal shape
 Of the rusty fire escape
 I bought a one way ticket
 'Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
 Unless I was aboard a jet plane
 And we were going down
 When I wiped the tears from my eyes
 The warm water took me by surprise
 And I woke up beside the ocean
 I realized: I must be in California
 ♪
 Aloha, my happy west coast friend
 Do you feel alive
 When the breaking waves arrive
 And rush all around you
 The beach homes and ocean side
 Are quite well know by the evening tide
 And we can sleep where we reside
 With redwoods around us
 The blue air is up there
 And could I bring it down
 I'd bottle it up and save it
 For a sweet summer night
 I bought a one way ticket
 'Cause I knew I'd never see the ground
 Unless I was aboard a jet plane
 And we were going down
 When I wiped the tears from my eyes
 The warm water took me by surprise
 And I woke up beside the ocean
 I realized: I must be in California
 Am I awake or is this just a dream?
 ♪
 The new year is out here
 And I will make a lovely
 List of your charms
 So I'll never feel alone in your arms
 I must be in California
