California Winter

from GOODBYE EL DORADO by Russ Tolman

/

lyrics

In the California winter I turned my life around
In the California winter I rejoiced in the beauty I had found
I was enchanted by her ocean but it meant nothing
Compared to the way I am enchanted by you
I live for things that you say and all that you do
In the merry month of November I turned by attention to the dead
I don’t know how I couldn’t remember all the ludicrous things that you said
I had no choice but to be with you I would forgive you
You give me a thousand million pleasures in one day
I live for the things that you say, I live for the day
In the California winter I lost my way ahead
In the California winter my ego was left for dead
Discovering you helped me be reborn
But all there’s now is scorn, still my love is sworn
It can’t be torn
In the California winter I was humbled to the ground
In the California winter I shivered at the sound
Of your voice telling me I had to leave and go away
I don’t know how I survived that day
I live for things that you say and all that you do
