I drove eleven hundred miles to find a photograph I lost
 It's just a polaroid I used to keep of a girl that I once loved
 And sleeping leads to nightmares 'cause I never can forget
 So now I'm dreaming of Los Angeles as the winter closes in
 I said I'm dreaming of Los Angeles as the winter closes in

 And we met seven English girls who asked if we'd like to see God
 I'm not one for missed adventures so I answered with a smile
 We spent the night on razor's edge
 All innocence and sin
 Now I'm [bad word] out on the Bowery as the winter closes in
 I said I'm [bad word] out on the Bowery as the winter closes in

 And I won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel
 We had our summer on Long Island now there's wounds that never heal

 And I won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel
 We had our summer on Long Island now there's wounds that never heal

 I'd paint a picture of my mother but I can't recall her face
 She's even far away at midnight and her laughter haunts my dreams
 I ain't never been this broken
 I've got nothing left to give
 Now I'm searching for salvation as the winter closes in
 I said I'm searching for salvation as the winter closes in
 Man I'm searching for salvation as the winter closes in

 And I won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel
 We had our summer on Long Island now there's wounds that never heal

 And I won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel
 We had our summer on Long Island now there's wounds that never heal

 Oh
