A long December and
There's reason to believe
Maybe this year will
Be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing
That you said as you were leavin'
Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I must be forgiven
I wish you would
The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that it's
All a lot of oysters but no pearls
All at once you look
Across a crowded room
To see the way
That light attaches to a girl
And it's one more day up
In the canyons
And it's one more night
In Hollywood
If you think you might
Come to California
I think you should
Drove up to Hillside
Manor sometime after two a m
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter
Makes you laugh a little slower
Makes you talk
A little lower about the things
You could not show her
And it's been a long December
And there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will
Be better than the last
I can't remember all the times
I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to
These moments as they pass
And it's one more day up
In the canyon
And it's one more night
In Hollywood
It's been so long since
I've seen the ocean
I guess I should
