He needed me
I didn't care
I crashed his car
And when he forgave me
I couldn't stop
It's all I knew
And he had to go away
LA
He had to go away
LA
He needed me
To play a part
Forget my art
Hollywood broke his heart
And tore apart
Make a fresh start
He had to go away
LA
He had to go away
LA
It's a fool's errand to look for security in art
I only know one thing
It's a fool's errand to try to change a leopard's spots
I only know enough to sing
I found the snow
And thawed the ice
On winter's shore
You redeemed all the pain
And all the years
Your train came in
I had to go and stay
LA
I had to go and stay
LA
I had to go and stay
I must go back
And take my dreams
Back to the sun
I must go and stay
I must go back
And sing my songs
And carry on
I have to go and stay
LA
