California Day

Lyrics: Dave Torbert
Music: Dave Torbert

A New Riders song, also played by Dave Torbert with Kingfish.

California dream winding through the ocean shore
I walked a country mile along your rocky coast
On the sandy shores I ran until I could not run no more
Left it far behind in dreams of death

Something's calling me, oh honey, to the mystic sea
Something's calling me, oh honey, to your eyes I see

California day
I know that I can make it all the way
Just my love is where I'm going to

Something's calling me, oh honey, to the mystic sea, something, something
Something's calling me, oh, unto your eyes I see

California day
I know that I can make it all the way
Just my love is where I'm going to
