Thoughts of California
Ed Hale

In the cold mist of the morning I went walking from my bed

I could hear the sparrows calling from the branches overhead

And darkness still was creeping over that aquatic sky

Then I thought of California but I still can't figure why

The military officers who parade my city block

They are gazing through the windows

In a state of dread and shock

But you will not be shadowed girl you know we can't just die

And I thought of California then as I stopped to touch the sky

Your father is a senator your mother is the chief

They brand you as a sinner so that they can play the priest

At the closing of the curtain at the breaking of the dawn

Everybody feels for certain that we've all done something wrong

But you shall not be crucified, you shall not be tamed

Everybody just wants to survive in a world consumed in blame

As we head to California with our suitcase full of shame

California

As the light crawls into the atmosphere like a child upon its knees

We stare through arching windows and watch the world move underneath

To the waltz of early morning to the splitting of the skies

Then I thought of California but I still can't figure why
