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 'em tell you that they're all the same 
 Oh, the sea was red and the sky was grey 
 Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today 
 The mountains and the canyons start to tremble and shake 
 The children of the Sun began to awake (watch out)   
 Seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose 
 And it started to flow, I think I might be sinking 
 Throw me a line, 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: La-la-la-la 
 Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn 
 Trying to find a woman who's never, never, never been born 
 Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams 
 Telling myself it's not as hard, hard, hard as it seems
