Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roaring by,

Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby

D G A D

Beside the southern ocean, taking thought of what's to be

D G A D

Writing you this letter that you'll prob'ly never see

But I can't help but be ruled by inconsistancies, now you need this distantly

in love.

Tried to phone from Paris, thinking things could be arranged

Me and you would roundez-vous, but I found your number changed

So I drove to San Ramos where the crazy painter dwells

Toasted our old photographs still up there on the shelves

You had a new lover who had stolen you away

That could be the reason that I never got in touch

I've been playing this song for years, but I never actually wrote it down to

send it in until now. The best memory I have of this song is when Jimmy did

it acoustic both nights at Irvine Meadows in Irvine, CA on the '94 Fruitcakes

tour. Anyhoo, Enjoy!
