Jimmy Buffett - Love in the Library lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - Love in the Library lyrics]
On the corner of Government and Bay Avenue
The old doomsday fanatic wore
A crown of kudzu
Sirens were wailing in the gulf coastal heat
And it seemed like the whole
World was in forced retreat
I paid no attention
Revolved through the door
Passed the newspaper rack on
The worn marble floor
Near Civil War history
My heart skipped a beat
She was standing on fiction
Stretched high on bare feet
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the
Library once upon a time
I was the pirate, she was the queen
Sir Francis and Elizabeth
The best there's ever been
Then she strolled past my table
And stopped at the stairs
Then sent me a smile as
She reached for Flaubert
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the
Library once upon a time
She gathered her books, walked while she read
Words never spoken but so much was said
You can read all you
Want into this rendezvous
But it's safer than most things
That lovers can do
Well, stories have endings and fantasies fade
The guard by the door
Starts drawing the shade
So write your own ending and
Hope it comes true
For the lovers and strangers on Bay Avenue
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the
Library once upon a time
The old doomsday fanatic wore
A crown of kudzu
Sirens were wailing in the gulf coastal heat
And it seemed like the whole
World was in forced retreat
I paid no attention
Revolved through the door
Passed the newspaper rack on
The worn marble floor
Near Civil War history
My heart skipped a beat
She was standing on fiction
Stretched high on bare feet
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the
Library once upon a time
I was the pirate, she was the queen
Sir Francis and Elizabeth
The best there's ever been
Then she strolled past my table
And stopped at the stairs
Then sent me a smile as
She reached for Flaubert
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the
Library once upon a time
She gathered her books, walked while she read
Words never spoken but so much was said
You can read all you
Want into this rendezvous
But it's safer than most things
That lovers can do
Well, stories have endings and fantasies fade
The guard by the door
Starts drawing the shade
So write your own ending and
Hope it comes true
For the lovers and strangers on Bay Avenue
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the
Library once upon a time
