All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
On a winters day
I can save the warmth
If I was in l.a.

When I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes it cold
He knows I'm gonna stay

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk
On a winters day
I can save the warmth
If I was in l.a.
California dreamin'
On such a winters day

California dreamin'
On a such a winters day
