A long december lyrics

Artist  : Counting crows 
Song : A long december
 
A long December, and there's reason to beleive
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 canyon
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I can be forgiven....I wish you
would

The smell of hospitals in winter
And the feeling that its 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 canyon
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 its been a long December, and there's reason
to beleive
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.
