Lyrics for Love In The Library by JIMMY BUFFETT:
| | | Artist: | JIMMY BUFFETT |

The old doomsday fanatic wore a crown of
kudzu
Sirens where wailing in the gulf coastal heat
And it seemed like the whole world was
in forced retreat
I paid no attention, revolved through the door
Passed the newspaper rack
on the worn marble floor
Near civil war history my heart skipped a beat
She was standing in
fiction stretched high on bare feet
Love in the library, quiet and cool
Love in the
library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the
library once upon a time
I was the pirate and she was the queen
Sir Francis and
Elizabeth the best there's ever been
Then she strolled past my table and stopped at the
stairs
Then sent me a smile as she reached for Flaubert
Love in the library, quiet and
cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime
I
fell in love in the library once upon a time
She gathered her books, walked while she
read
Words never spoken but so much was said
You can read all you want into this
rendezvous
But it's safer than most things that lovers can do
Well stories have endings and
fantasies fade
The guard by the door starts drawing the shade
So write your own ending and
hope they come true
For the lovers and strangers on Bay Avenue
Love in the library,
quiet and cool
Love in the library, there are no rules
Surrounded by stories surreal and
sublime
I fell in love in the library once upon a time | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
