lyrics

Red faced and breathless telling jokes on the porch,
Under a canopy of pink skies and olive branches,
Staying out all night talking about love and about war,
And the space between words and old-time dances,

And anywhere I go in sprawling conversation,
You meet me half way with beautiful observation,
And your words are so acutely different than mine,
But they always weave together like a strong grapevine.

We howled at the moon and challenged the notion of time,
As a moment became a minute and then an hour and then a night.

After you sung me every word of every song you've ever known,
And I hooted and cheered like you were starring at the Apollo,
I stole some flowers that the neighbors had grown,
I threw you a rose, you were a tough act to follow,

I tried to impress you by being a know-it-all,
But you didn't really care about how Maine looked in the fall,
So I made up funny stories and tried to play it cool,
But you saw right through me before I could see through you,

But the farther I saw, the farther I wanted to go,
You just got sweeter and sweeter the more I got to know (you)

That night in La Jolla Cove

I cursed every mile as I drove you,
And we said goodnight and kissed like it was the fall of Rome,
And even Mr. Nero would have put down his bow,
As our kingdom burned and our ashes glowed,

But as much as I bitch, the sun will still rise,
Tomorrow never knows so why should I,
If I stay hung up on what's come and what's gone,
The world will while around me until I get back on.

So I'll write you some shitty song about the night so you can never forget,

That night in La Jolla Cove.
