A LONG DECEMBER (1996) COUNTING CROWS

Sérgio Luiz Gallina

A long December and there's reason to believe

Maybe this year will be better than the last

I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'

Now 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 in winter

And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters but no pearls

All at once you look across a crowded room

To 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

----

Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.

And talked a little while about the year

I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower

Makes you talk a little lower 

About the things you could not show her

----

And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe

Maybe this year will be better than the last

I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself

To hold on to these moments as they pass

----

And it's one more day up in the canyon

And it's one more night in Hollywood

It's been so long since I've seen the ocean

I guess I should
