She sings at the top of her lungs through tears
It never seems to be loud enough to hear
But she keeps that glimmer in her eye
But no one over sees cause no one's got the time

Singin songs in California Air
As night turns into day
The girl that wore the flowers in her hair
Has gone up north to stay
To go find a river so she could skate away
The words she'd written and the love she'd shared
Had given her away
Given her away

The time she'd been waiting for had come
And gone by before the work was done
A generation's peace and love and pain
And now we are left with what remains

Singin songs in California Air
As night turns into day
The girl that wore the flowers in her hair
Has gone up north to stay
To go find a river so she could skate away
The words she'd written and the love she'd shared
Had given her away
Given her away
