Lyrics:
On the corner of Government and Bay Avenue The old doomsday fanatic wore a crown of kudzu Sirens where wailing in the gulf coastal heat And it seemed like the whole world was in forced retreat I paid no attention, revolved through the door Passed the newspaper rack on the worn marble floor Near civil war history my heart skipped a beat She was standing in fiction stretched high on bare feet 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 I was the pirate and 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 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 and fantasies fade The guard by the door starts drawing the shade So write your own ending and hope they come 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
