"The nights are long

And the days roll into each other

In the City of Angels I can't get no sleep

I wish that I was sippin' coffee in your kitchen

Yeah I'm stormy from the mountains to the sea

 

Left her standing

At the gate

Couldn't talk I was running so late

Thought I heard her say goodbye?

Saw the sun fade in her eyes

 

I brought my rain to California

All the way from Philadelphia, PA

And on the way my tears fell for you

I brought my rain to California

 

Wandering down to Sunset Strip in the morning

6 a.m., is that a rainbow that I see?

I interrupt my own damn conversation

Yeah I'm talking to myself at the Whiskey

 

Left her standing

At the gate

Couldn't talk I was running so late

Thought I heard her say goodbye?

Saw the sun fade in her eyes

 

I brought my rain to California

All the way from Philadelphia, PA

And on the way my tears fell for you

I brought my rain to California

 

Inside this heart that smiles no more

Lies the ghost of a love so beautiful

And all the time

The rain inside my mind

Goes on and on and on and on and onÉ

 

Left her standing

At the gate

Couldn't talk I was running so late

Thought I heard her say goodbye?

Saw the sun fade in her eyes

 

I brought my rain to California"
