I

Verse 1

don't mind the quiet 
Or the lonely nights 
I don't miss the funky attitudes
And I don't miss the fights 
I lie on the couch 'til suppertime
And hunker down and read the Post
And that's when I remember the
things I miss the most

Chorus

The talk
The sex    
The some body to trust
The Audi T T 
The house on the Vine yard 
The house on the gulf coast 
These are the things I miss the most

Verse 2

I kinda like frying up 
My sad cui sine 
Gettin' in bed and curling up
with a girlie maga zine 
But sometimes in the corner of my eye
I see that adorable ghost
And then ba-boom I remember the
things I miss the most

Chorus

The talk
The sex    
The some body to trust
The comfy Eames chair 
The good copper pans 
The fiftyfour Strat 
These are the things I miss the most

Bridge

I had A little birdy friend
By morning she was gone
Birdy good-bye -ye -ye
Birdy bye-bye -ye -ye -ye

Verse 3

I'm learning how to meditate 
So far so good 
I'm building the Andrea Doria 
out of balsa wood 
The days really don't last for ever
But it's getting pretty damn close
And that's when I remember the
things I miss the most

Chorus

The talk
The sex    
The some body to trust
The Audi T T 
The house on the Vineyard 
The house on the gulf coast 
These are the things I miss the most
