Story behind the song
I imagined this story and just wrote it down.
Lyrics
CALIFORNIAN RAIN Ive been driving all evening through the Californian rain Following traces that Ive left here in the past Its been years since Ive seen this place And I feel some kind of pain And Im not sure how long the stay is gonna last You see Ive been thinking about you And Ive been watching the windscreen wipers And Im afraid that you have changed Aint it funny how places seem to change up through the years Isnt that building on the hillside much too high Its been years since I left this place With laughter and with tears And all the people here who knew me asked me why But you see I had to get away I had to look at the world waiting out there I felt I had to climb the stairs Did you know I was coming home Did you know that the birds on the telephone wires Were singing about me this morning You heard them I know Did you know I was coming home Did you know that Im finally returning To this sleepy city out here on the coast Where life goes so slow Did you know while I was away You were the one in this difficult world That I needed the most When you left me the Californian rain came pouring down The big world took you and it left me sitting all alone Sometimes life can get hard on you and turn your world around Your luck has left you and all the little birds have flown You see that happened to me I felt my life became full of strangers But now I think I hear this sound
