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 theres 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 its 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
