California Songtext

von Mick Flannery

Lady, come into my room,
I pretend I’m sleepin’,
Half an eye on you.

Slow, you take off your clothes,
You knew I was watchin’,
Said, “How’d ya like the show?”

Then I told ya I loved ya an’ you said, “Yeah I know.”
Babe I thought I could die before I’d ever let go.

Well, I fell under a spell,
All the love you gave me
I took it from myself.

And no matter what you tried,
I wouldn’t let you help me,
Or look you in the eye.

I remember the day that we said our goodbyes,
Though I can’t for the life of me remember why.

I’m still going into town now too often
Nails in my coffin, to auld lang syne,
Everytime, everytime.

I, I was afraid of time,
If I didn’t change me,
I would fall behind.

And so, I went on the road,
On to California,
Here I am alone.
I know how to do right but I’ve been getting’ it wrong,
Now I’m sittin’ here hopin’ I’ll come back to form.
