Lyrics

California Rain

[Verse 1]

Curaçao blue, used to know you

It's in your head, all in your head

This purple haze, fading from me

It's in your head, all in your head

[Pre-Chorus]

My mind has lost its silver sheen

I wish that I was a machine

[Chorus]

Maybe I need a new heart for me

'Cause calico gray, California rain

California rain

[Verse 2]

Kaleidoscope, I used to know ya

I want it back, I want it back, oh

Out of the shade, silhouettes break

It's in your head, all in my head

[Pre-Chorus]

The sky has lost its silver sheen

I wish that I was a machine

[Chorus]

Maybe I need a new heart for me

'Cause calico gray, California rain

California rain

[Bridge]

Calico gray, Calico gray

Calico gray, -co gray, you're Calico

[Chorus]

Maybe I need a new heart for me

'Cause calico gray, California rain

California rain
