You moved up near the winery I'm down by the oil refinery You left my rags for his riches Left a note best wishes Our cats still go out at night Cooling in the moonlight And the lights of Martinez Scattered on the carquinez I play guitar til morning light Alone with it I've built my life Made some lovers through my sk**s Some have lasted, other just filled time Remembering you there with me Taking walks along the sea Years fly by cursing us End of summer, end of fall, winter, spring Listening to almedia play pavane for a dead princess tarrega And albeniz and his own discantus Santos versus Benitez Espada versus Quevas Ray Leonard versus Duran no more no more My tv glows, my ceiling fan hums Iron Mike broke bones, Julian Bream played the chaconne Bobby Fischer took rooks, Smoking Joe trough hooks Robert Burns wrote poems, Ed Gein dug bones Martin Luther had a dream, you never did anything You're up there in the vineyards Using some pretty words You eat at French Laundry Burning through money And I'm here eating pitaschio nuts Over by the Taco truck Scribbling words on receipts Just go on and repeat I walk along the service stops And the antique shops Come home every evening Hear the dogs howlin'
