Текст песни Juliana Richer Daily - Jamie-California

Jamie's in the corner with a wire and a light
He's got his shaking fingers hard pressed,
Yeah he's leaving tonight
And momma's in the back,
She's got her fists down at her side
So long as she doesn't exhale
She knows that it'll be alright

And he walks out into the road
And he lets out a sound like a howl at the moon
Try though we may to keep him
We know he's leaving here soon

Yeah he's been talking 'bout California
He's been tracing maps in the night
He says if we want we can join him,
We can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can
And he'll meet us by the oceanside

A day or two, a week or three
A month and then one more
I am standing by the telephone
I am waiting at the door

And every little thing I see I read it as a sign
I wonder if he's wondering too
I know he's out there somewhere, I am sure

And I feel a pull to the west
Like invisible tides dragging out to the sea
A wind murmurs low through the window
He said he'd wait there for me

He talked a lot about California
Said he could make it there if he tried
I know that he will if he wants to
He can, yes he can, yes he can, yes he can
And he'll meet me by the oceanside

The days are getting shorter now
A movement's on the rise
I swear that I can see his face
If I just close my eyes

And I carve a trail in my palm
Of the possible ground where he's already been
I swear on the sun I'll go join him
Yeah, I'll go find him but when?

Now I been dreaming 'bout California
Been tracing maps in my mind
I know if I want to I'll join him
I can, yes I can, yes I can, yes I can

And he was talking 'bout California
He was tracing maps in the night
I swear that someday I'll go join him
I can, yes I can and he'll meet me by the oceanside
