California

Billy doesn't love me but he keeps good company

He only comes here when there's no-one else to see

I don't mind if he comes around

I know the winter gets him down

Billy doesn't love me but he keeps good company

We can't afford a ticket but we can always dream

It looks so good you could almost kiss the screen

We've seen the blue, we've seen the smiles

We can get a map and count the miles

It looks so good you could almost kiss the screen

And when we get there, what will we find ?

All the way to California, all the way to California

Why don't you come with me

And I'll get you through January in California

Why don't you come and lie down next to me

When you're feeling like a river lost in the deep blue

sea

Under covers you're a child

We'll be there in a little while

Why don't you come and lie down next to me

And when we get there, what will we find ?

Will we find something we left behind ?

All the way to California, all the way to California

Why don't you some with me

And I'll get you through January in California

California
