Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
You you're everything I ever wanted to
Be when you're here with me I just want to lose
Me in your love that rises to the sun
And says everything I never could think of
In silence we rise and we fall here for today then were gone
But you you'll always be my only real friend
I said you I know you'll always be there 'till the end
They may say I'm holding onto something from the past
'cause they know that nothing in this life will ever last
In silence we rise and we fall here for today then were gone
In the time that we take to look back
These days and these moments have passed
I've been running down the mountain side alone
I've been stuck out in the rain and in the cold
I've been going down lonely streets
I've been climbing up the mountain
'cause you you're everything I ever wanted to
Be when you're here with me I just want to lose
In silence we rise and we fall here for today then were gone
In the time that we take to look back
These days and these moments have passed
Then we're gone
Be when you're here with me I just want to lose
Me in your love that rises to the sun
And says everything I never could think of
In silence we rise and we fall here for today then were gone
But you you'll always be my only real friend
I said you I know you'll always be there 'till the end
They may say I'm holding onto something from the past
'cause they know that nothing in this life will ever last
In silence we rise and we fall here for today then were gone
In the time that we take to look back
These days and these moments have passed
I've been running down the mountain side alone
I've been stuck out in the rain and in the cold
I've been going down lonely streets
I've been climbing up the mountain
'cause you you're everything I ever wanted to
Be when you're here with me I just want to lose
In silence we rise and we fall here for today then were gone
In the time that we take to look back
These days and these moments have passed
Then we're gone

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Such a cool song. The beat got me first... and then the lyrics.
"You, you're everything I ever wanted to... Be" LoL
