Lyrics for Song: Leaving California
Lyrics for Album: A Woman A Man Walked By [2009]
California, leaving
California
California, leaving
California
No one but me is walking
Under palms that give no shade
I'm leaving you today
California leaves me
California
California leaves me
California
How cruel was I to think that
I could make you change?
Oh, give me some shade
Oh, England come soon
How could I believe that I
Could live and breathe in you?
California killed her
California
California killed me
California
I think it's time to leave
I think it's time to leave
I told no one I'd stay
I think it's time to leave

Leaving California
PJ Harvey's "Leaving California" stands as a haunting centerpiece on the 2009 album A Woman A Man Walked By. The track exemplifies her signature blend of gothic rock and atmospheric minimalism, characterized by her distinctive, emotive vocal delivery layered over sparse instrumentation. Released during a period where Harvey continued to explore themes of isolation and urban decay, the song reflects her ability to weave personal narrative with broader social commentary. Its haunting quality has cemented its place within her discography, resonating with listeners who appreciate the raw, textured soundscapes that define her work from the early 90s through to her later releases. |
