Love in the Library (from the Jimmy Buffett album _Fruitcakes_)
By: Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally
1994
On the cBmorner of Government and BAay Avenue
The old dBmoomsday fanatic wore a cArown of kudzu
SDirens were wAailing in the GEulf Coastal hAeat
And it sGeemed like the wDhole world was iEn forced retreat
Paid no attention, revolved through the door
Past the newspaper racks on the worn marble floor
Near Civil War history my heart skipped a beat
She was standing in fiction stretched high on bare feet
LDove in the lAibrary
QEuiet and cAool
LDove in the lAibrary
TEhere are no rAules
SurrEounded by sAtories
SurrEeal and sublAime
I fell in lDove in the lAibrary
OEnce upon a tAime
I was the pirate, 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
Solo: Bm A Bm A
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, fantasies fade
And the guard by the door starts drawing the shade
So write your own ending and hope it comes 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
Surrounded by stories
Surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library
Once upon a time
