lirik lagu danny o'keefe - in northern california (where the palm tree meets the pine)
[verse 1]
well, it’s closin’ time, i’m tryin’ to beat the clock
been waitin’ for a woman as fast as her talk
when up limps a crippled woman
my, my, ain’t that sick?
she said, “there’s only two kinds in the end of it
the dead, of course, and the quick
and the dead, of course, stand naked
with their backs against the wall
now there’s two ways you can have it, son,” she said
“mine or not at all”
[chorus]
she’d thrown away her crutches
but i knew that i’d need mine
in northern california
where the palm tree meets the pine
[verse 2]
she was a much older woman
you can always tell by the shoеs
she dealt in fools and gamblers
and boys who madе the news
her body smelled like roses look
her nails were sharp and long
her heart, she said, was an open book
and on every page a song
[chorus]
so i helped her with her braces
said the pleasure was all mine, ma’am
in northern california
where the palm tree meets the pine
up in northern california
where the palm tree meets the pine
[verse 3]
like all of us she had her dreams
not the least was true romance
but i knew i’d lost the handle
when she softly sighed, “let’s dance”
she loved me like she knew i was
an outlaw on the run
and in the morning, when i woke
i was the crippled one
[chorus]
so i left her as i found her
right in the nick of time
in northern california
where the palm tree meets the pine
yup, in northern california
where the palm tree meets the pine
