[Sun Kil Moon - I Know It's Pathetic But That Was the Greatest Night of My Life lyrics]
Was backstage in Moscow late one night
We shared a cigarette, a kiss goodbye
Her name was Cayenne, so young and soft
Her hands trembled badly
Her eyes trailed off
To bottles and objects around the room
My backup guitar, a tray of food
We didn't have very much to say
She said that she'd come
From some other place
A town called Troit'sk, maybe Trois
Was pretty distracted packing my stuff
But, I did make a point to ask her to stay
But she said she had friends that
She had to go see
Later that summer I picked up my mail
She sent me a letter with a touching detail
"I used up my minutes calling hotels
To find you that night but to no avail"
"I know it's pathetic
" she continued to write
"But that was the greatest night of my life"
We shared a cigarette, a kiss goodbye
Her name was Cayenne, so young and soft
Her hands trembled badly
Her eyes trailed off

From some other place
A town called Troit'sk, maybe Trois
Was pretty distracted packing my stuff
But, I did make a point to ask her to stay
But she said she had friends that

She sent me a letter with a touching detail

To find you that night but to no avail"
"I know it's pathetic

"But that was the greatest night of my life"
