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.
There was nothing that I ever wanted more than for you to hold this deep with you heart. To lay beside me as my halo bums deep to cender and to the wale me from my tired life. To give this ghost a home again. When you fall short and I fall short, this is where I pretend I'm as tall as the sky. Now there is no comfort in your apology and no comfort in this shame. This is where I can duck for cover from the overwhelming, the forever overhead. For the heart for old time's sake I'll stay warm withthis numb from the neck up. She mamed me with a sypathy kiss. She mamed me with her heart shaped tomb. These days daydreams don't burn as bright as they us to. Your broken promises boil over. Every syllable my swinging hammer and every hesitation is loss to them. In the name of those lost to you. For them this time it is war. For me it's easier to just walk away.

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.

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
