a long december
and there's reason to believe
that maybe this year will be better
than the last
i can't remember
the last thing that you said
cuz you were leaving
and 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 could be forgiven
i wish you would
the smell of hospitals and winter
and the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters
and no pearls
and all at once you look across a crowded room
and 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
