Goodbye California - Jolie Holland

I'm pre-meditating crime of a personal kind

I'm about to go out of my mind

I'm just about sick to death of taking breath

And walking this line of mine

Now folks that know what's good for them

Are good at ignoring them

But I just can't put these thoughts down

I'm harrowed and abused and broken and pursued

By this notion that follows me around

My heart is hurting my spirit's burdened

I feel like a liar and a thief

For taking air for being here

Unwanted I look for my final release

Goodbye goodbye California

Goodbye and I'll be moving on

I sang you my songs I know I'm wrong

Fare thee well and I'll be moving on

When I'm dead and gone

My immortal home will hold me in its bosom

Safe and cold no more desires

Will light their fires or disturb my immaculate calm

And the birds of the air and the beasts of the soil

And the fishes of the desperate seas

Will know who I am and our substance will expand

As part of everything

As part of everything my God

As part of everything and the clouds will roll

And the wind will blow and the beautiful birds will sing

Goodbye goodbye California

Goodbye to your waving trees

To you succulent wind and all my friends

Fare thee well goodbye so be it

Amen
