When we are old and the sun is on its last leg , when there's nothing left but dust in the air
I will find you in a dream where we will be young again
Oh, where, oh where did the time go
I'll search the beauty in your eyes that has left your face
We were just young lovers then
On a coffee shop on Spring Street
Talking about love and war
And everything that's unfair
Oh well
There we're palm trees in California
Fortune cookies wishing us well
We were still figuring it all out then
But baby, I'm wishing you well
I'm wishing you well
I'm wishing you well
You were standing in Union Station
The train was leaving for Salvation
You were born then you were gone
Just like that train that took you into the sun
That night we dropped LSD
And you were laughing, you looked at me
And you said we would never die
We'd always be alive
We'd always be alive
Oh
And there we're palm trees in California
Fortune cookies wishing us well
We were still figuring it all out then
But baby, I'm wishing you well
Yes, baby, I'm wishing you well
Oh my baby, I'm wishing you well
Before the old planet exploded
Before all of time it corroded
Before your face was just a mark on the ground
That my feet were stomping all around
Before there was no old Mother Earth
Before there was nothing left for us to touch
Before your breath escaped
Before the wind erupted
Before there was absolutely nothing left for us to touch
Before there was
Before there was
Before there was nothing left
There we're palm trees in California
There we're palm trees
Fortune cookies wishing us well
Good luck to you, baby girl
We were still figuring it all out then
We were so young
But baby, I'm wishing you
You know I'm missing you
Oh, yes, baby, I'm wishing you well
I'm wishing you
I'm wishing you well
I'm wishing you
