California Fading

All the streets are dark (all the streets are dark)

And the hope's decayed (and the hope's decayed)

I've been wandering here (I've been wandering here)

On a shattered day (on a shattered day)

I’d escape this life (I’d escape this life)

If I could find a way (if I could find a way)

California fading (California fading)

In such a bleak decay

Stopped into a shelter
I passed along the way
Well, I looked around in shame (looked around in shame)
So many lost their way (many lost their way)
You know the people are so cold (people are so cold)
They’ve nowhere left to stay (nowhere left to stay)
California fading (California fading)
In such a bleak decay

All the dreams are gone (all the dreams are gone)
And the light is gray (and the light is gray)
I’ve been stuck in this (I’ve been stuck in this)
Broken yesterday (broken yesterday)
If I didn’t fall here (if I didn’t fall here)
I’d have run away (I’d have run away)
California fading (California fading)
In such a bleak decay

California fading (California fading)
In such a bleak decay
California fading (California fading)
The dreams have slipped away.
