(Lyrics)
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk on a winters day
I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin’, on such a winters day.
Stepped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I get down on my knees and I pretend to pray.
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I’m gonna stay.
California, California dreamin’, on such a winters day.
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I’ve been for a walk on a winters day
I I didn’t tell her I could love today
California, California dreamin’, on such a winters day.
All the leaves are brown …
I miss that state, say what you want but I loved the 15 years I was there. If I could aford to live there again, I would.
I was 10-years-old when this song was released. The Vietnam War was escalating, and I had already begun the fear of being drafted when I turned 18. The thought of being forced into fighting in a foreign war stayed with me every day — until Dick Nixon ended the draft in January, 1973.
Needless to say, I won’t escape the next war because it shall be fought on USA soil… but my call to duty will be voluntary this time.
Good old Ca…nice earthquake wake up this morning…4.4 in north of westwood….
