california here i come

• shocking blue'nun loop'a alınmış tek akormuş gibi durduğu halde alıp götüren güzel bir şarkısı. basına hastayım...
  sözleri:
  got a long long way to go
  over her dusty roads
  take my old brown suitcase
  and leave at the break of day
  i'm not afraid of the distance
  some time on my side
  hear me singing my song
  california here i come
  when the sun's going down silence is the only sound
  oh restless are the nights when nobody's around
  i'm not afraid of the distance
  some time on my side
  hear me singing my song
  california here i come
  day after day i'm going over her dusty roads
  how long will this go on
  until i'm there where i belong
  but now troubles are over
  i wipe off the dust on my boots
  hear me singing my song
  california now to come
  california now to come

  when the wintry winds starts blowing
  and the snow is starting in the fall
  then my eyes went westward knowing
  that's the place that i love best of all
  california i've been blue
  since i've been away from you
  i can't wait 'till i get blowing
  even now i'm starting in a call
  
  california, here i come
  right back where i started from
  where bowers of flowers
  bloom in the spring
  each morning at dawning
  birdies sing at everything
  a sunkissed miss said, "don't be late!"
  that's why i can hardly wait
  open up that golden gate
  california, here i come
  
  california, here i come (yeaaaaaah!)
  right back where i started from
  where bowers of flowers
  bloom in the spring
  each morning at dawning
  birdies sing at everything
  a sunkissed miss said, "don't be late!"
  that's why i can hardly wait (come on!)
  open up (open up! open up!) that golden gate
  california, here i come
