So it comes to the end of the d ay
I'm checking out of my hot el room today.
It's been two years since I've s een your face
The girl beside me reminds me of how you taste.
Since I've seen you I've been b eaten down and bruised
And every day I'm feelin' m ore and more misused.
I never thought that I would be without your love
Years gone by you're still the one I'm thinkin' of
Chorus
Sweet Savannah, you sh ine so bright.
May the evening bring you're f avorite night.
Sweet Savannah, you been g one so long
But I've got to move on...
It's gettin' cold, I put my j acket on your back
And we smoke a cigarette, the last o ne in the pack.
I still remember e xactly what you said...
You had demons that you couldn't put to bed.
Now I'm leavin', yeah, I'm m ovin' out west
And it's time for us to lay our h istory to rest.
I still remember a t eardrop in your eye
But you know I couldn't stand to see you cry...
Chorus
Sweet Savannah, you sh ine so bright.
May the evening bring you're f avorite night.
Sweet Savannah, you been g one so long
But I've got to move on...
So now I close on this Ho llywood night
Where this counterculture cultivates an em ptiness inside.
Would it be different if you were s till here in my life?
Would I be sober and would you be my wife?
Chorus
Sweet Savannah, you sh ine so bright.
May the evening bring you're f avorite night.
Sweet Savannah, you been g one so long
But I've got to move on...
