California Brown Songtext
von Gentle Hen

If I′m gonna live in this New England town
I'm gonna paint my house California Brown
Gonna add a little color to the winter grey
Gonna carve a little depth into the frozen day

Breaking off the edges of the sidewalk ice
The crunch beneath my boots well it feels so nice
But I′d trade it in a second just to hang around
Where the sun's hanging over California Brown

California Brown
Where the gold trail ambles through the bone dry ground
I'm the lion in the brambles just outside of town
Staring down the valley without making a sound
Watching for the sun to go down


When the leaves are all gone and the branches are spikes
And the neighborhood kids have packed away their bikes
And staring out the window is like staring at a frown
I do my best to think of California Brown

California Brown
Where the gold trail ambles through the bone dry ground
I′m the lion in the brambles just outside of town
Creeping towards the valley without making a sound
Waiting for the sun go down

Sun hanging down
Orange and blue above brown

California Brown
Where the gold trail ambles through the bone dry ground
I′m the lion in the brambles just outside of town
Creeping down the valley without making a sound
Watching for the sun goes down
Surrounded by California Brown
