Frank Turner - Sunshine State lyrics

[Frank Turner - Sunshine State lyrics]

I remember the day - the day when I
Had to take you to the airport
And put you on a plane, and so you left me
Left me alone on an empty tube train
Deep under the ground
While you were bathed in sunlight
High above the clouds

I needed you here to be
My sunshine in London town
California's had more than it's fair share

You left me to these small skies
And to rain-soaked concrete
To Morrissey and Robert Smith and
Complicated streets I know
On which you lost your patience and your way
The way you always did on
Steel grey rainy days
I needed you here to be
My sunshine in London town
California's had more than it's fair share
Of beating summer sun and shining seas
But it doesn't have a shred of honesty
I know the truth, yeah
Neil Young and Joni Mitchell were Canadians
I guess that makes sense
They had their fill and then
They moved away again you're not alone
We all sometimes use words
That we don't understand
Your "love" was only just skin deep and
In the end it gave me cancer

You might have been my sunshine
But I'd rather have a rainy day
California gets just what it deserves
