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
If I didn't tell her I could live today
California, California dreamin', on such a winters day.
