Lyrics

Oh California, You’re a hole in my heart
A hole in my heart
That I’m going to have to start to mend
To mend

Carolina is another place to start
It’s another place to start
There are other things around the bend
The bend

The weather report is always too short
For what I need
And if eastern standard time
Soaks into my mind

Will the fog float away
And sink back into the bay
Well so long California
May we meet again someday

And to the places that we used to live
We can never go back
Cause we’re on a one way track
We can never go back to call
To call

Yeah and the beaches we used to walk
Have been washed by sea and air
That once blew in our hair
And would you know that we were there at all
At all

Well I’m selling it short
But I’m not of the sort to sell it long 

And if eastern standard time
Soaks into my mind
Will the fog float away
And sink back into the bay
Well so long California
May we meet again someday
