Come to California - Ron Pope

Hotels and cigarettes

And empty bars where I just sit

And contemplate the things that I can’t know

And all I ask of you are honest words

Simple truths

A place to lay my head when I get lost

Nothing here is right

Guess I’ll shut my eyes

Come to California 'cause I’ve been lonely for you

We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise

Come to California

Nothing’s right without you and even in the daylight

Well I can’t see the sky

I watch the waves disappear beneath the boardwalk

Then I blink my eyes

Stare farther down the beach

I’ll get drunk this time on Boone’s Farm wine

In my defense I’d like to say at least it’s always sweet

Nothing here is tight

Guess I’ll shut my eyes

Come to California 'cause I’ve been lonely for you

We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise

Come to California

Nothing’s right without you and even in the daylight

Well I can’t see the sky

And I don’t know if I believe I’m everything I should be If I’d never been for you

Love

I am drowning in this change

It’s washing everything I know and am confident with

Ah Come to California 'cause I’ve been lonely for you

We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise

Come to California

Nothing’s right without you and even in the daylight

Well I can’t see the sky

I can’t see the sky

Come to California 'cause I’ve been lonely for you

(I can’t see the sky)

We can stay up all night just to watch the sunrise

(Lord I can’t see the sky)

Come to California

Nothing’s right without you and even in the daylight

(I can’t see it)

(I can’t see it)

Well I can’t see the sky

(I can’t see it)
