The redtail hawk writes songs across the sky There's music in the waters flowing by And you can hear a song each time the wind sighs In the golden rolling hills of California It's been so long love since you said goodbye My cabin's been as lonesome as a cry There's comfort in the clouds drifting by In the golden rolling hills of California A neighbour came today to lend a hand As I fixed the road as best as I can It's just something that needs another's hand In the golden rolling hills of California In the golden rolling hills of California The redtail hawk writes songs across the sky There's music in the waters flowing by And you can hear a song each time the wind sighs In the golden rolling hills of California In the golden rolling hills of California
