Tony Joe White - California on My Mind lyrics

I sit here by my window pane and all I see is the falling rain And I can feel the blues coming down on me If only wishing worked for me There's a place I'ld like to be But my wishes never do come true for me California on my mind I want to feel your warm sunshine I know that it would set me free Just to feel that ocean breeze And I could hear a good song night or day I would walk the country mile To see a california smile But these old dark clouds tell me it's so far away California on my mind I want to feel your warm sunshine I guess I could go walking just the same And make believe it's california rain But it's not the same And it's a sin I guess I sit here in my room And try to think of a happy tune I watch a TV-show I've seen before Oh mister sun you've let me down The least you could do is come around Would you please tell me what you are away for California on my mind I want to feel your warm sunshine Today hey hey hey Oh yeah
