Tim Christensen
California Rain
[Verse 1]
A standing O for the falling I
A christening pouring from a marble sky
Heaven sent the California rain
A million tears to wash away the bitter pain

[Chorus]
Oh, such a bittersweet compromise
Such a sparkling dark surprise
Oh, ripping a lifeline between the clouds
Start finding a way to stop freaking out

[Verse 2]
Thunder under bright silhouettes
A grey parade that you are trying to forget
Heaven sent the California Rain
It's hard to see where you need to break the chain

[Chorus]
Oh, such a bittersweet compromise
Such a sparkling dark surprise
Oh, ripping a lifeline between the clouds
Start finding a way to stop freaking out
Freaking out, stop freaking out

[Bridge]
If every day is always second to none
Why do I feel like I am jumping the gun?
It's coming back again, it's coming back again
Why do you pick me up by dropping the bomb?
We're killing time until they bring back the sun
It's coming back again, it's coming back again, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, such a bittersweet compromise
Such a sparkling dark surprise
Oh, ripping a lifeline between the clouds
Start finding a way to stop freaking out
