Well, I've been spending too much time in California Where your feelings change, but seasons never do And in my dream last night I felt the storm was coming But I woke to sunny skies of baby blue And I call her up to let her go today For a moment thought "it's easier than being away" But through the tangled tread the needle finds a way And I'm asking her to stay And I've been spending all my time composing letters To a girl who lives a thousand miles away But writing never takes the place of living And I need her arms, I need her smile again And she called me up to let me go today For a moment thought "it's easier than being away" But through the tangled tread the needle finds a way And I'm asking her to stay And I call her up to let her go today For a moment thought "it's easier than being away" But through the tangled tread the needle finds a way And I'm asking her to stay Won't you stay? Won't you stay? Don't get carried away. Don't get carried away. He carried you away He carried you away Carried you away;
