its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You will know me
Walking slowly
Through the spaces underneath
Pull me under
Rolling thunder
Echoes all up and down the street
Come lie down with me and sing my song
Close your eyes and soon we will be gone
Midnight water
Lovely daughter
This was just where I wanted to be
Windows open
Nothing spoken
Just the sound of the rain on the sea
Come lie down with me and sing my song
Close your eyes and soon we will be gone
In the dream I was older
And I sat on the bench in the park
You came up from the ground and you followed me into the dark
Come lie down with me and sing my song
Close your eyes and soon we will be gone
Walking slowly
Through the spaces underneath
Pull me under
Rolling thunder
Echoes all up and down the street
Come lie down with me and sing my song
Close your eyes and soon we will be gone
Midnight water
Lovely daughter
This was just where I wanted to be
Windows open
Nothing spoken
Just the sound of the rain on the sea
Come lie down with me and sing my song
Close your eyes and soon we will be gone
In the dream I was older
And I sat on the bench in the park
You came up from the ground and you followed me into the dark
Come lie down with me and sing my song
Close your eyes and soon we will be 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.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
good song, seems like it might be about trying to get a woman to trust him, maybe his daughter or maybe his lover, tough to tell
