Jolie Holland - Goodbye California lyrics

I'm premeditating crime
of a personal kind.
I'm about to go out of my mind.

I'm just about sick to death
of taking breath
and walking this line of mine.
Now, folks that know what's good
for them
are good at ignoring them,
but I just can't put these thoughts
down.
I'm harrowed and abused,
and broken and persued
by this notion
that follows me around.
My heart is hurting,
my spirit's burdened.

I feel like a liar and a thief
for taking air,
for being here,
unwanted.
I look for my final release.
Goodbye, goodbye, California,
Goodbye, and I'll be moving on.
I sang you my songs;
I know I'm wrong.
Fare thee well,Jolie Holland - Goodbye California - http://motolyrics.com/jolie-holland/goodbye-california-lyrics.html
and I'll be moving on.

When I'm dead and gone,
my immortal home
will hold me in its bosom
safe and cold
No more desires
will light their fires,
or disturb my immaculate calm.
And the birds of the air,
and the beasts of the soil,
and the fishes of the desperate
sea
will know who I am,
and out substance will expand
as part of everything--
as part of everything, my God
as part of everything
and the clouds will roll
and the wind will blow
and the beautiful birds will sing.
Goodbye, goodbye, California.
Goodbye to your waving trees,
to your succulent wind, and all my
friends.
Fare thee well.
Goodbye.
So be it.
Amen. Amen.
