Gambler & Thief - 26 Acres (California) Lyrics

You make the coffee
I'll make the bed
I replay the years
In the corners of my head
We packed our things and headed north
And traveled where we've never been before

Remember California
Where the grass grew tall and gold
We held our hands
Through the grains of hope
And twenty-six acres
We promised we'd never let go

Do you remember where it began?
We were kids in love trying to
Make grown up plans
The land was wild but so were we
Waters rose against the old oak tree

Remember California
Where the grass grew tall and gold
We held our hands
Through the grains of hope
And twenty-six acres
We promised we'd never let go

I thought we had more time
I thought we had more time

I thought we had more time
(When did it all fall?)
I thought we had more time
(When did it all come down?)

I thought we had more time
(When did it all fall?)
I thought we had more time
(When did it all come down?)

Remember California
(All that we hoped for)
(Thought had we had more time)
Where the grass grew tall and gold
(All the plans we made)
(What got away was time)
We held our hands
(All that we hoped for)
Through the grains of hope
(Thought that we had more time)
And twenty-six acres
We promised we'd never let go
