California Lullabye

The skies are cold and gray

The storm is on its way

The flat horizon, leafless trees

There's nothing far as you can see, out here

You shiver like a waif

Your snow boot soles are chafed

You left your heart in paradise

You left it all to roll the dice with me

And I will shake away the cloudy skies

With a California lullabye

And when you're frozen with desire

We'll put our toes up to the fire

And I will sing your cares away

The sand between my toes

Your hands beneath my clothes

The memories of golden days

Where first we met, and parted ways so soon

But distance lost its fight

When you laid down at night

Without a map, you chose your heart

Now we are one, but you're still far from home

So let me shake away the cloudy skies

With a California lullabye

And when you're frozen with desire

We'll put our toes up to the fire

And I will sing your cares away

And when you're frozen with desire

We'll put our toes up to the fire

And I will sing your cares away

I know it feels, like spinning wheels

Aredigging you much deeper in the snow

Don't worry, ‘cause the winter thaws

And you will watch the river start to flow

And in that place, the empty space

Will fill you in a warm embrace

And I will hold you tight until it's home

I will shake away the cloudy skies

With a California lullabye

And when you're frozen with desire

We'll put our toes up to the fire

And I will sing your cares away

Now let me take you back to paradise

All you gotta do is close your eyes

And when you're frozen with desire

We'll put our toes up to the fire

And I will sing your cares away
