"Californian Light" lyrics

"Californian Light"

Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light

Yeah I'm not feeling to well
I should take my time like my mother taught me so well
But I'm grieving, cos I'm leaving a feeling so deep alone
And I'm sleeping as I walk the streets of where I call home

There's many times where I've been
Close, but no cigars there
I never loved to love, as much as you loved to cry
So why does it feel it's all I'm doing all the time

Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around
The vision was always wrong like the light that made us run
In California I can't afford to, make you mine, but baby I still make you cry

Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light
Show me your love
Californian light

Yeah I hear you're doing pretty well
So I try and put you on the shelf
But I didn't get high to feel this strange
But I knew it had gone

Another cliché is how I've been
I'm glad that no one really cares
I never learnt to love as well as I could tell a lie
So now I'm wondering what I'm telling myself now

Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
I tried to be the one, but it's easy now to see you around
The vision was always wrong Like the light that made us run
In California I can't afford to, make you love

Yeah it might be the way that I see it all
I tried to be the one, but it's easy now I can see you now
The vision was always wrong Like the light that made us run
In California I can't afford to, make you mine I can't, I can't
Baby I can't see you cry
