Janice Marie Foote's Musings

Everyone has a place they call home deep down in their soul. Well I'm originally from Sacramento, California, though San Francisco is my soul's home. I lived there for 4 1/2 years and previous to living there, I visited on a very regular basis 'cause I loved it that much. Eventually I moved out of state and now reside in NYC, and have for some years now. Though it's never become my soul's home, I do love many things about living in NYC. I've learned alot and grew in different ways I wouldn't have had I not lived here. Though for a few years now my heart has been calling me back to my soul's home, and I will soon end up under my California dreaming skies once again. Here are my lyrics California Dreaming about making it back one day. Making it back one day to the warm sun, the beautiful blue skies and to the mellifluous dreamers that are my wunderkin. The mellifluous dreamers that permeate this state that are my kind of life loving dreamers.

Colorful cars zooming down highways beeline dancing trees
Wistful leaves laugh at us hitchers hiking to neverland
To find a home inbetween open hearts and dreaming heads

We're hitchers hiking thumbing rides to neverland
We've stuffed our wishes into vagabond bags
To head across wondering states in one wandering piece
As we hitch and we hike out to unknown skies

California dreaming California dreaming California dreaming
California dreaming and fireflies are out tonight
Lighting up wishes in the evening sky
Falling stars fall from wishing minds
Falling falling falling from dreaming heads
We're pulling down stars with glowing hands
We're dreamers needing light to wrap around our souls
To keep us warm when the sun hides his face
To keep us safe when the moon showers fate

California dreaming California dreaming California dreaming
Everone's California dreaming from Austin
Inbetween and over to dreamers lost in Boston
Everyone's hitching to California dreaming lands

Happily we're hitching our way to neverland
Where childhood dressers stand still forever
Skip skip skip we're merrily skipping down memory lane

One two buckle our shoes three four shut the door
Five six pick up sticks seven eight shut the gate
Nine ten we're looking for dreams under our skin
As we hitch and we hike under random blue skies

California dreaming California dreaming California dreaming
California dreaming and fireflies are out tonight
Lighting up wishes in the evening sky
Falling stars fall from wishing minds
Falling falling falling from dreaming heads
We're pulling down stars with glowing hands
We're dreamers needing light to wrap around our souls
To keep us warm when the sun hides his face
To keep us safe when the moon showers fate

California dreaming California dreaming California dreaming
Everone's California dreaming from Austin
Inbetween and over to dreamers lost in Boston
Everyone's hitching to California dreaming lands

With trigger fingers we're shooting blame outta the way
Faster than ten speedy hands push circles through squares
We're hitchers hiking thumbing rides to neverland

Connecting dots to dreams California's closer than it seems
Just one big hop and bold run to avoid the burn of the sun
Just one huge leap and swift run to avoid the swoon of the moon
As we hitch and we hike out to California dreaming skies

California dreaming California dreaming California dreaming
California dreaming and fireflies are out tonight
Lighting up wishes in the evening sky
Falling stars fall from wishing minds
Falling falling falling from dreaming heads
We're pulling down stars with glowing hands
We're dreamers needing light to wrap around our souls
To keep us warm when the sun hides his face
To keep us safe when the moon showers fate

California dreaming California dreaming California dreaming
Everone's California dreaming from Austin
Inbetween and over to dreamers lost in Boston
Everyone's hitching to California dreaming lands
