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.
For everything unsaid there is a flourish of my pride
It is deep and dark and wide
I can't tell the weeds from vines
But if I had the strength I'd move the mountains in my mind
But it's taking all my time
Just to start to realize
That I'm not the man I hoped to be
And though I'm not alone
I still feel so lonely
Come Monday, I've forgotten all those promises you said
All your holy words in red
Reaped in guilt and golden thread
And if I had the strength to be who others say I am
I wouldn't look into my eyes
See the shadow of a man
Well I'm not who they say I've become
For I know the things I've said
Won't compare with what I've done
No, no, oh, no
Now all of these monstrosities
Choices I have made
Will not go away
I've made my bed and here I lay
But is there still forgiveness if we know what we have done?
every single one
Respect?
Well it's not just the day that meets the night
Seems to me it's in the darkness we can finally see the light
Oh, oh, oh, oh
It is deep and dark and wide
I can't tell the weeds from vines
But if I had the strength I'd move the mountains in my mind
But it's taking all my time
Just to start to realize
That I'm not the man I hoped to be
And though I'm not alone
I still feel so lonely
Come Monday, I've forgotten all those promises you said
All your holy words in red
Reaped in guilt and golden thread
And if I had the strength to be who others say I am
I wouldn't look into my eyes
See the shadow of a man
Well I'm not who they say I've become
For I know the things I've said
Won't compare with what I've done
No, no, oh, no
Now all of these monstrosities
Choices I have made
Will not go away
I've made my bed and here I lay
But is there still forgiveness if we know what we have done?
every single one
Respect?
Well it's not just the day that meets the night
Seems to me it's in the darkness we can finally see the light
Oh, oh, oh, oh

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.
