Cali Sun

I remember us
Under the
Californian sky
Basking in the warmth
Soaking up the sun
You lying next to me
On a Sunday noon
Just before we went
Driving down the street
In your red Corvette
To take a ride
Up on the ferris wheel
While the sky
Is splashed with red
In the western horizon
The last summer days

You would sit
Near the window panes
Writing your songs
Playing the piano
And I couldn't help
But dive deep
Into those ocean blue eyes
Lyrical smile
Your hands on my thigh
My tongue in your mouth

I would lit the fire
On gloomy rains
While we make pancakes
And dance to your
Old favourite tunes

But people are people
And sometimes
We change our minds
On a cold day in November
You left
Banging the door
Broken window panes
A dying fire
We made quite a mess babe

And I confess baby
In my dreams
You're touching my hands
I hope
Wherever you are
The sun shines on your face
And something reminds you
Of my tear stained cheeks
Red hair in messy braids
And you wish you had stayed
I hope
You remember us
Under the Californian sky
On a Sunday noon
