[00:02]A Long December
[00:09]
[00:13]A long December, and there's reason to believe
[00:19]Maybe this year will be better than the last
[00:26]I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'
[00:34]Now the days go by so fast
[00:38]
[00:39]And it's one more day up in the canyon
[00:45]And it's one more night in Hollywood
[00:52]If you think that I can be forgiven....I wish you would
[01:01]
[01:14]The smell of hospitals in winter
[01:18]And the feeling that its all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
[01:27]All at once you look across a crowded room
[01:33]To see the way that light attaches to a girl
[01:39]
[01:40]And it's one more day up in the canyon
[01:46]And it's one more night in Hollywood
[01:53]If you think you might come to California...I think you should
[02:03]
[02:28]Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
[02:34]And talked a little while about the year
[02:41]I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
[02:48]Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
[02:54]
[02:55]And its been a long December, and there's reason to believe
[03:01]Maybe this year will be better than the last
[03:08]I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
[03:15]To hold on to these moments as they pass
[03:20]
[03:24]And it's one more day up in the canyon
[03:32]And it's one more night in Hollywood
[03:38]It's been so long since I've seen the ocean..I guess I should.
