Lyrics

The tide rolls out and comes back in
It did it before and it’ll do it again
Rushing waters come crashing down
Everything that goes away comes back around

California. The golden shore
All I wanted was to have a little more
Weary pilgrims westward bound
Everything that goes away comes back around

CHORUS
Like an old song stuck in my mind
I hear the melody from time to time
Like an old flame that won’t burn out
Everything that goes away comes back around

All the demons I tried to kill
Look through my window when I sit too still
But I know where my soul is found
Everything that goes away comes back around

CHORUS

When I take my final breath
When these old bones surrender unto death
See the clouds roll back. Hear the trumpet sound
Everything that goes away comes back around
