California Now
Words and music by Steven Grossman
I’ve been going out nightly
doesn’t much matter where
I get home every day or so
to water the plants and check the mail
Go out for the evening paper
watch the children at the candy store
Pass the grocery and the fruit stand
I don’t shop much anymore
It seems we came to a decision
but I swear I don’t remember how
I know it’s selfish to ask
but must you be in California now
We called it a vacation
I needed time to be alone
I said I’d come to live with you in half a year
when all my work here is done
My producers gave me this piano
my writing – well it’s coming along
But for this sad preoccupation
that finds its way into every song
It seems we came to an agreement
but I swear I don’t remember how
I know it’s crazy to ask
but must you be in California now
Must you be in California now?
There are others who dream of you
others who know your nights
I don’t suspect you’ll be lonely
or that I can see you before our time
I go with men from the bar
who ask me for my company
But there just isn’t that connection
You’d call me “Blood”
I’d call you “Family”
It seems we came to a decision
but I swear I don’t remember how
Yet I believe we’ll be together
even though you’re in California now
I believe in California now
