There's something in your eyes
That I cannot quantify
It would be a waste of time
So I won't even try
Turn on Christmas lights
Unwrap the bottles that I brought by
We don't have to drink them all tonight
But we might
I could think of a dozen cliches
That I could not bring myself to say
Let alone sing
Defining the best experience of life
I swear he replied
"Eating toast in bed with the
Smell of a girl on (his) fingers"

I bought an Elizabethan house
That had been built into a cliff
Down in the basement a sharp shelf of rock
Jutting up that shows you proof of it
And sensing your discomfort
I suggest we move upstairs
When, as a child, you watched as your father
Sprang up and leapt out into space
He made it back but you would never be the same
You were covering your face
You're not a friend of nature and
Nature has not been kind to you
Riding elevators
Hailing taxi cabs
Cold cereal at the Algonquin
This city is not so bad

The Yellow Room

We made the drive and
We found the place and
Even now I see your face
In the yellow room at a window seat
I could have stayed the whole week
We saw a very good show
One or two
We smoked a bit and then
I took you to the yellow room
Past the window seat
I could have stayed the whole week

Just Outside

I'll be outside
I love to see the girls in their dresses and
I love it when the boys are dressed really nice but
I can't take the music they're playing tonight
What a beautiful night
I can't watch the floor so I'll look at the sky
Yes, I feel fine
Just fix me a drink and turn out the light
