All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
if I was in L.A
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed a long the way
Well, I got down on my knees,
And I pretend to pray
You know,
the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
on a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day
On such a winter's day

I call your name but you're not there.
Was I to blame for being unfair?
Don't you know I can't sleep at night
Since you're been gone.
I never weep at night; I can't go on.

Don't you know I can't take it;
I don't know who can.
I'm not gonna make it;
I'm not that kind of man.

Don't you know I can't sleep at night.
But just the same,
I never weep at night; I call your name.

(John...John...)

Don't you know I can't take it;
I don't know who can.
I'm not gonna make it;
I'm not that kind of man.

Don't you know I can't sleep at night.
But just the same,
I never weep at night; I call your name.
I never weep at night; I call your name.

Every time I see you
It's just because you're blue
You don't really need me
The way that I need you
Don't come on so groovy
You do better mean
You're like an old time movie
One that I already seen

Baby, yes I need your love
But I'm not gonna get this low
Don't you think that I can tell
When you've no place else to go
Could it be you misunderstood
When you tried to read my mind
Cause this time you will find
I'm gonna let you go
Every time I see you

You're like an old time movie
Baby, yes I need your love
But I'm not gonna get this low
Don't you think that I can tell
When you've got no place else to go
Could it be you understood
When you tried to read my mind
Cause this time you will find
I'm gonna let you go
Every time I see you

Rooms that we have lived in,
The things that they have seen;
Rooms that you shared with me,
And the rooms in between...

When you're gone, there's a drought of love.

Mornings we would wake up
Just to taste our love again,
Afraid of some break-up
Before the day could end.

When you're gone, there's a drought of love;
Empty rooms without your love.
Why can't we seem to get it on?
(Why can't we seem to get it on)

Words remain unspoken (words...);
Thoughts cannot be heard
(Thoughts...cannot be heard).
Love's just a token
Without some spoken word.
When your gone, there's a drought of love.

When you're gone, there's a drought of love;
Empty rooms without your love.
Why can't we seem to get it on?
(Why can't we seem to get it on)

Rooms that you will live in
Not a part of me.
(They'll never see...)
Rooms that you'll make love in;
Rooms I've never seen.
When you're gone, there's a drought of love...
When you're gone, there's a drought of love...

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear
Some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet
Some gentle people there

For those who come to San Francisco
Summer time will be a lovin' there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair

All across the nation
Such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation
With a new explanation
People in motion
People in motion

For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear
Some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summer time will be a lovin' there

If you come to San Francisco
Summer time will be a lovin' there

I used to live in new york city
Every thing there was dark and dirty
Outside my window was a steeple
With a clock that always said 12:30

Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the morning I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I cant keep myself from talking.

At first so strange to feel so friendly
To say good morning and really mean it
To feel these changes happening in me
But not to notice till I feel it.

Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the morning I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I cant keep myself from talking.

Cloudy waters cast no reflection
Images of beauty lie there stagnant
Vibrations bounce in no direction
And lie there shattered into fragments.

Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the morning I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I cant keep myself from talking.

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give, never think about myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe.
