| Made your way before them |
| You were open to that voice |
| Whispering those words back again |
| In a valley of thoughts |
| That were dying by your side |
| Why couldn’t you just confide |
| Cradling your silence |
| In the words you cannot say |
| Justify it for another day |
| Now the dust has settled |
| In the empire of your soul |
| What is it you need to make it whole? |
| You went to California |
| Put your body on the road |
| I should have tried to warn you |
| Sometime this world is hard to hold |
| In between the concrete lane |
| Your mind begins to change |
| Whispering those words back again |
| And as the night becomes you |
| And the codeine hits the pain |
| What is it you need to start again? |
| And as the fever rages |
| In the vanguard of your mind |
| Looking for that thing you cannot find |
| Cause you’re walking in the shadow |
| Of a man you used to know |
| While you’re leaving your footprints in the snow |
| You went to California |
| Put your body on the road |
| I should have tried to warn you |
| Sometime this world is hard to hold |
| Made your way before them |
| You were open to that voice |
| Whispering those words back again |
| In a valley of thoughts |
| That were dying by your side |
| Why couldn’t you just confide |
| You went to California |
| Put your body on the road |
| I should have tried to warn you |
| Sometime this world is hard to hold |
| Sometime this world is hard to hold |
| Sometime this world is hard to hold |
| Sometime this world is hard to hold |
