You know that good times are so hard to follow When all your yesterdays shine but the rains come tomorrow I'm such a long, long way from what I used to call home And now I know so much better than to leave you alone I know you and me were just passing the time And though I may be leaving I'm still glad that you were once mine
Your voice sounds so sad and my heart's filled with sorrow Your tears and my pride are both so hard to swallow And I love the way that it starts come-what-may But I hate the way it all ends in disarray And when I fell down you took back your sweet hand Ah, but that's okay babe you're still my beauty My beautiful land
So as the teardrops fall do I have to beg, steal or borrow? And when did yesterday's sun turn into raindrops tomorrow? I'm guessing that we were just passing the time But I still carry you with me in the back of my mind I've drank all your wine when I've been alone California I'm so low but you've made me a home
