Led Zeppelin - Going To California

 

 

Spent my days with a woman unkind
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine
Made up my mind to make a new start
Going to California with an aching
In my heart.

Someone told me there s a girl out there
With love in her eyes, and flowers
In her hair.

Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you
That they re all the same.
Sea was red and the sky was grey
Wondered how tomorrrow
Could ever follow today.

The mountains and the canyons
Start to tremble and shake
The children of the sun begin to awake.

Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch in the nose
And its starting to flow
I think it might be sinking.
Throw me a line and if I reach it in time
I ll meet you up there
Where the path runs straight and high.

To find a queen without a king,
They say she plays guitar
And cries and sings.
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Trying to find a woman
Who s never bee n born.

Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself that its not
As hard as it seems.
