The Ghosts of California
Good morning folks,

I believe I'm one week late due to a vacation I took from using the Internet. It's a healthy break from opening a computer and answering electronic messages.

I recently borrowed a mandolin from a friend of mine, and I decided to use it for the recording of a new song called "The Ghosts of California" that I posted on myspace today. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording.

The Ghosts of California

Tell me what it takes to remember
Tell me what it takes to be good again
Seven years running, trying to find the ocean
Now the wind just whispers, "take me home my friend"

These are the ghosts of California
Voices drowning in the sea
It's a good year for leaving
It's a good year for you and me

Build us a home made for heroes
Build us a boat that finds the stars
We watched the hillsides burn, the saddest kind of sunset
We can stay out here forever but we can't escape these scars

These are the ghosts of California
Voices drowning in the sea
It's a good year for leaving
It's a good year for you and me

Tell me what it takes to remember
Tell me what it takes to find our way
Seven years running, trying to find the ocean
Now we're standing on the shore without a word to say

These are the ghosts of California
Screaming songs that no one knows
It's a good year for leaving
It's a good year for letting go

It's a good year for leaving
It's a good year for letting go
