The sun also rises
(Billy Bob Thornton/JD Andrew) She came out of nowhere in a courtyard restaurant in Prague in the rain It was just a little drizzle so we ordered us up two glasses of champagne It had been about a decade or so since we'd suffered through some work-related pain She was surprised by the compliment I gave her she said "I think you're insane" She kissed me on the cheek and said let's go to Hemingway's and heve us a drink We got in a cab and she leaned on my shoulder and gave me a wink We sat real close in Hemingway's back room and I started to think She's from her lost generation and I'm from mine, that's our only link The beautiful girl, The beautiful girl, The beautiful girl realizes, The sun also rises It wasn't too long before the Absinthe kicked in and we started to dream She grabbed me by the hand and pulled me through the crowd like we were swimming upstream Her temporary flat was just two blocks away and she laid out her scheme She had a five a.m flight to London but she loved to push to the extreme She sang her songs and I sang mine and we made a grand plan We swore we'd never let go again the look between us was mostly deadpan The hopelessness of love between us cut like the blades of a fan I know she's in May and she knows I'm already a December man The beautiful girl, The beautiful girl, The beautiful girl realizes, The sun also rises She was a girl on fire with the whole wide world in the palm of her hand I was a man with memories headed back home from a foreign land She stuffed her backpack as I tried to wrestle with a golden band The elevator door sprung open and we knew the dream was outmanned The beautiful girl, The beautiful girl, The beautiful girl realizes, The sun also rises Top ↑©2023 by Tuttle.
