נימוקים של צורה ותוכן

שיר סיכום השנה של אדם דוריץ מה-Counting Crows.  מוקדש לכל אלה מבינינו שעדיין משקיפים לצד השני של חדר הומה כדי לראות את האור נופל על נערה.

A Long December

 A long December, and there's reason to believe
  Maybe this year will be better than the last
  I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leavin'
  Now the days go by so fast

    And it's one more day up in the canyon
    And it's one more night in Hollywood
    If you think that I can be forgiven....I wish you would

  The smell of hospitals in winter
  And the feeling that its all a lot of oysters, but no pearls
  All at once you look across a crowded room
  To see the way that light attaches to a girl

    And it's one more day up in the canyon
    And it's one more night in Hollywood
    If you think you might come to California...I think you should

  Drove up to Hillside Manor sometime after two a.m.
  And talked a little while about the year
  I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
  Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her

  And its been a long December, and there's reason to believe
  Maybe this year will be better than the last
  I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself
  To hold on to these moments as they pass

    And it's one more day up in the canyon
    And it's one more night in Hollywood
    It's been so long since I've seen the ocean..I guess I should.
