Steven Gellman - California (For Kate)

California (For Kate)
Words & Music L. Steven Gellman © 2023 Hidden Poet Music (ASCAP)

All the light has left here, and the rain is pouring down
I feel like some beat up toy, left in the lost & found

I long for sandy beaches, and the roar of ocean sound
From tall cliffs with red wood trees, in the lovely, northern towns (of)

California, California, California, California

With worries on my mind, I dream of better days
Where the sun is always shining bright, and my cares just drift away

Cornflower blue skies, with white cotton linen clouds
Driving the backroads, on the northern rural route (in)

California, California, California, California
I want to go... to Mendocino

So, I close my eyes, and I pretend I’m already there
Walking through Muir Woods, in the pine scented air

Kate is singing, and her songs linger on...
Bringing joy and comfort to, those of us who long (for)

California, California, California, California, California, California, California, California
I want to go, I want to go, I want to go, to Mendocino
