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 Chords: Bm - |xxo432| A - |oo222o| D - |xxo232| E - |o221oo| G - |32ooo3| transcribed by Arleen Myers (myera@ils.unc.edu) June 1995
