Love In The Library Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

On the corner of Government and Bay Avenue 

The old doomsday fanatic wore a crown of kudzu 

Sirens where wailing in the gulf coastal heat 

And it seemed like the whole world was in forced retreat 

I paid no attention, revolved through the door 

Passed the newspaper rack on the worn marble floor 

Near civil war history my heart skipped a beat 

She was standing in fiction stretched high on bare feet 

Love in the library, quiet and cool 

Love in the library, there are no rules 

Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime 

I fell in love in the library once upon a time

I was the pirate and she was the queen 

Sir Francis and Elizabeth the best there's ever been 

Then she strolled past my table and stopped at the stairs 

Then sent me a smile as she reached for Flaubert 

Love in the library, quiet and cool 

Love in the library, there are no rules 

Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime 

I fell in love in the library once upon a time 

She gathered her books, walked while she read 

Words never spoken but so much was said 

You can read all you want into this rendezvous 

But it's safer than most things that lovers can do 

Well stories have endings and fantasies fade 

And the guard by the door starts drawing the shade 

So write your own ending and hope it come true 

For the lovers and strangers on Bay Avenue

Love in the library, quiet and cool 

Love in the library, there are no rules 

Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime 

I fell in love in the library once upon a time 

Surrounded by stories surreal and sublime 

I fell in love in the library once upon a time
