AmThe redtail hawk writes Gsongs across the Amsky,
AmThere's music in the Gwaters flowing Amby,
AmAnd you can hear a Gsong each time the Amwind sighs,
GIn the golden rolling hills of EmCaliAmfornia.
AmIt's been so long love Gsince you said goodAmbye,
AmMy cabin's been as Glonesome as a Amcry,
AmThere's comfort in the Gclouds drifting Amby,
GIn the golden rolling hills of EmCaliAmfornia.
