California Rain lyrics

[Verse 1]
Never knew just why I came here
It's as good as any place
Like a bad tattoo, synthetic blues come rolling down your face
And I don't mind the taste

[Chorus]
But isn't it nice to get away?
Clear my head up and dull away the pain
It's hard to see you, but I'm so glad you came
'Cause I don't feel too much in California rain

[Verse 2]
Never knew just how it started
I never understood the pain
But I can feel the scars as the stars get dark, rolling up in waste
Why throw away a face?

[Chorus]
But isn't it nice to run away?
Clear my head up from abhorrent fits of rage
It's hard to see you, but I'm so glad you came
'Cause I don't feel too much in the California rain
