From California — текст песни (New Amsterdams, The)

Uncommon amount of the time at home, hardly a word on the telephone. Finally find the time to get to know you. Still mapping it out like a master plan, something to do with my idle hands. Write you a letter addressed from California. It`s vivid and strong in my memory, an absence that smacks of abandoning. It let to the battle that ultimately destroyed us. I`m nothing if I don`t know your mistakes, the pill is as bitter as I can take. It twists like a blade when I leave for California. I hope that you know this is killing me, it`s all in the name of the family. We only can play the cards the dealer dealt us. The end of the cycle is closing in, with you I see new hope begin again. There suddenly seems to be promise in California. As heavy as all this is weighing me, believe in the words I am promising. I`m still here for her. The distance is only an obstacle, hardly a match for a miracle. I`m finally ready to go to California.
