lyrics

Sail on sunny days
I finally found my way
In the arms of a gypsy queen
She'd lived so many lives
Been a lover, been a wife
Tangled up in blue and a sea of green
But there was something feral staring out behind those eyes
Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly

She's gone to California
She said, don't say I didn't warn ya
Sometimes I gotta go off road
'Coz babe that's how I roll
But I'll be back again in a couple of days
Ya just gotta have a little faith

Riding out stormy nights
Trying to hold on tight
Pitching to and fro on a slippery deck
Doing what I can
To be a stand-up man
And not worry to expect
Wo, she'll be cruising that Pacific Coast Highway
Free as a bird from Frisco to L.A.

She's gone to California
She said, don't say I didn't warn ya
You say you don't want me to leave
You've gotta let me breathe
But I'll be back again in a couple of days
Ya just gotta have a little faith

(Him: I just want to know that when I wake up tomorrow you're still gonna
be here.
Her: I can't give you that... nobody can)

Sail on sunny days
I finally found my way
In the arms of a gypsy queen

She's gone to California
She said, don't say I didn't warn ya
You say you wanna help me grow
Well sometimes you gotta let me go
But I'll be back again in a couple of days
Ya just gotta have a little faith

She's gone to California
She said, don't say I didn't warn ya
Sometimes I gotta go off road
'Coz baby that's how I roll
But I'll be back again in a couple of days
Ya just gotta have a little faith
