In the Arms of California
[Verse 1]
And we stare at the photograph
With a vanity rarely found
As he fell through the golden grass
Laying claim to this hallowed ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Our love is a gift
From the well of the fountain
Our love will not drift
It's a rock, it's a mountain

[Chorus]
Let me die this way
Oh, let me die
Let me die this way
In the arms of California

[Verse 2]
They drink milk from the honey jar
In our nest where we dressed to skive
Fill our lungs with the blackest tar
Kid ourselves it keeps us alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Our love is a gift
From the well of the fountain
Our love will not drift
Oh, it's a rock, it's a mountain

[Chorus]
Let me die this way
Oh, let me die
Oh, let me die this way
In the arms of California

[Bridge]
It's a wrench
It's a sadness you'll know someday
It's intense

Forgive me Molly if I'm acting au fait
Nothing hurts me more than suddenly leaving the fray
And if I could, I know I would surrender to its sway
For I was born to die here in the arms of California

[Outro]
Wrenching the sunshine to the lochs in the rain
There's such a lifeline
Something tells me we won't see its like again
