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 every day 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
Chorus: 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 getting 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 moing 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
Repeat chorus
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?
Chorus: Sweet savannah, you shine so bright May the evening be your favorite night Sweet savannah, you been sone so long But I’ve got to be movin’ on
