Lyrics
You came on so sweet and with all your flesh and blood
Made an offering of your beating heart
You asked if you could stay but I couldn’t see the way
So I sent you back out into the dark
If losing you is better than never knowing you at all
How could I have thrown it all away
I was waiting for a sign, but only heard the owl call
I was born to love you, babe, but not today
As the softest light is only found in darkest night
And the greatest leap is made in quiet faith
I wait on the knowing that what I did was right
Wait like California on the rain
You left me so suddenly in all your flesh and blood
I dream of you in an empty room
It’s not that I didn’t want you, but it wasn’t quite enough
Your love was too much too soon
If losing you is better than never knowing you at all
How could I have thrown it all away
I was waiting for a sign, but only heard the owl call
I was born to love you, babe, but not today
As the softest light is only found in darkest night
And the greatest leap is made in quiet faith
I wait on the knowing that what I did was right
Wait like California on the rain
I know it may not come and it may never be enough
To make it right and wash it all away
Still I wait on the knowing that what I did was right
Wait like California on the rain (x3)
