he smell of hospitals in winter (w/ fill 1, then fill 2 here)
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 fill 3 here)
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 *(fill 2)
I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass *(fill 4)
And it's one more day up in the canyon *(fill 5, played w/ a slide)
And it's one more night in Hollywood
It's been so long since I've seen the ocean... I guess I should

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 conyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think you might come to California...I think you should
Drove up to the 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 been 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
