California Dreamin'
(Phillips-Phillips)
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher liked the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a winter's day
If I didn't tell him I could leave today
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
California dreamin' on such a winter's day

"Brian?"
"Father Tom."
"What brings you in here?"
"The rain."
"Ah. It will come back."
"Huh?"
"The sunshine, it will come back."
"Of that, I have no doubt. Find any lost souls in the backroom lately Father?"
"A few."
"Saved any?"
"One or two."
"Mm."
"You know, a lesser man, than Brian Kinney, would be freaking by now if his young, good looking boyfriend..."
"Partner."
"Partner; went off to find fame and fortune in L.A. all alone. But not Brian Kinney."
"Not, Brian Kinney."
"He's doing something wonderful for the community, takes guts."
"I know."
"You must be very proud of him."
"I am....can I ask you something?"
"Go on."
"Knowing what, who you are, what keeps you here?"
"In the church?"
"Yes."
"Faith. And the hope that I can lessen the intolerance. Educate those who believe that God only loves heterosexuals. He doesn't you know, God loves all of us. Does Brian Kinney have faith?"
"Yes."
"Really? You surprise me. What does Brian Kinney have faith in?"
"In Sunshine."

Suffering
Autumn is here inside my heart
When there's springtime in the air
Loneliness is tearing me apart
Being lost makes me scared
I keep on asking the gods above to send my love back to me
Oh please let these days and weeks
Pass by so quickly
Nobody suffers like I do
Nobody else, oh no
Nobody suffers like I do
Nobody else but you
You had to leave, I know
And we knew it would be tough
You said you would be back soon
Soon is not soon enough
Through this waiting in vain
All this darkness and pain
I've been crying for you, now I'm dying
When this test is at the end
I hope you'll understand
That you're all that I've got
Oh darling
