I remember the day - the day when |
|
I had to take you to the airport |
|
And put you on a plane, and so you left me. |
|
Left me alone on an empty tube train, deep under the ground, |
|
While you were bathed in sunlight, high above the clouds. |
|
I needed you here to be my sunshine in |
|
London town. |
|
California's had more than its fair share. |
|
You left me to these small skies, and to rain-soaked concrete, |
|
To Morrissey and |
|
Robert Smith and complicated streets |
|
I know, On which you lost your patience and your way, |
|
The way you always did on steel grey rainy days. |
|
I needed you here to be my sunshine in |
|
London town. |
|
California's had more than its fair share |
|
Of beating summer sun and shining seas, |
|
But it doesn't have a shred of honesty. |
|
I know the truth - yeah, |
|
Neil Young and |
|
Joni Mitchell were |
|
Canadians. |
|
I guess that makes sense - they had their fill and then they moved away again. |
|
You're not alone, we all sometimes use words that we don't understand. |
|
Your "love" was only just skin deep and in the end it gave me cancer. |
|
You might have been my sunshine, but |
|
I'd rather have a rainy day. |
|
California gets just what it deserves. |
