Here In California Lyrics - Lucinda Williams

When I was young, my mama told me 

She said child, take your time 

Don't fall in love too quickly before you know your mind 

She held me round the shoulders 

In a voice so soft and kind 

She said love can make you happy and love can rob you blind 

[Chorus] 

Here in California 

Fruit hangs heavy on the vine 

There's no gold-I thought I'd warn ya 

And the hills turn brown in the summertime

Now I may learn to love you 

But I can't say when 

This morning we were strangers, and tonight we're only friends 

I'll take my time to know you, I'll take my time to see 

There's nothing I won't show you if you take your time with me 

[Chorus]

It's an old, familiar story, an old, familiar rhyme 

To everything there is a season, to every purpose there's a time 

A time to love and come together, a time we look long for a mate 

A time for questions we can't answer, though we ask them just the same
