Lyrics

Wide-awake at 2 a.m.
Restless in the summer heat I
Wandered through the tunnel to
A place on Figueroa Street
And listened to a woman playing
Mozart on a blue guitar
Whispering in Spanish
To the ghosts waltzing around the bar

I’m dancing round that bar

I just solved The Mystery
I don’t know why it took so long to
Understand the nature of
The Maker’s unforgiving song
It's nothing that a doctor ever
Wrote a quick prescription for
I thought I had a thousand years
Before I knocked upon that door

I’m knocking on that door

Palm trees from my balcony
Are filling up with parakeets
Sunlight in the morning like
Tequila spilling on my sheets
I’ll close up the venetian blinds
And see if I can make me cry
And sing a little song about
How hard it is to say goodbye

How hard it is
Goodbye
