| So, it comes to the end of the day
|
| And I’m checking out of my hotel room today
|
| It’s been two years since I’ve seen your face
|
| The girl beside me reminds me how you taste
|
| Since I’ve seen you, I’ve been beaten down and bruised
|
| And everyday I’m feeling more and more misused
|
| I never thought that I would be without your love
|
| Years gone by, you’re still the one I’m thinking of Sweet Savannah, you shine so bright
|
| may the evening bring your favorite night
|
| Sweet Savannah, you been gone so long
|
| But I’ve got to move on It’s gettin’cold, I put my jacket on your back
|
| And we smoke a cigarette, the last one in the pack
|
| I still remember exactly what you said
|
| That you had demons that you couldn’t put to bed
|
| Now I’m leaving, yeah, I’m moving out West
|
| And it’s time for us to lay our history to rest
|
| I still remember a tear drop in your eye
|
| But you know I couldn’t stand to see you cry
|
| Sweet Savannah, you shine so bright
|
| may the evening bring your favorite night
|
| Sweet Savannah, you been gone so long
|
| But I’ve got to move on So I close on this Hollywood night
|
| Where this counter-culture cultivates an emptiness inside
|
| Would it be different if you were still here in my life
|
| Would I be sober, and would you be my wife?
|
| Sweet Savannah, you shine so bright
|
| may the evening bring your favorite night
|
| Sweet Savannah, you been gone so long
|
| But I’ve got to be movin’on |
