A Long December Tab

by Counting Crows


                                                 
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  you said as you were leavin'
                                     
Now the days go by so fast

Chorus:
                                              
And it's one more day up in the canyons
                                            
And it's one more night in Hollywood
                                                                       
If you think that I could 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 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
