Sweet Colleens - California

Текст с Bandcamp'а: "Loosely based on Jeremy’s parents’ migration from San Diego to rural Ontario. Picture (in black and white, of course) a young couple, two toddlers, a dog and some big dreams, all heading north in a VW van. This is how it started: two names in the sand Horses on the ocean and a diamond in her hand Running down the boardwalk caught up in a swirl Of summertime, strawberry wine and a sun-speckled girl CHORUS California (faraway) California, so far far far away California (faraway) They never warn you that life just slips away It just slips away We said goodbye San Diego without a second thought Gazed into the canyon – the desert wind was hot Up onto the mountain closer to the sky Come rolling down took a look around trying to find a better life than CHORUS BRIDGE Remember us in ’98, caught behind the hit parade Salty Dog was on the trap, my daddy drinking in the back The crowd was gone there was no one left, I stuck a Jerry Jones around my neck Stepped up to the microphone and said “Take me home” CHORUS from Closer to the Sky, released January 1, 2013 Words & music © 2009 Jeremy Greenhouse"
