This song is one of my favorites.
The library has always had a special place in my life. When I was a young lad, it was highlight of my week when I was able to go to the library. I live so many lives, dreams and fell in love with characters that the writes set before me in the books at the library.
Jimmy and Michael Tcshudin did a fabulous job of writing on this song





Another reason why I love this song is that every time I hear this song, I think of SweetMelissa

Love In The Library
Jimmy Buffett, Mac McAnally

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 on fiction stretched high on bare feet

Chorus
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

Chorus
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
The guard by the door starts drawing the shade
So write your own ending and hope they come true
For the lovers and strangers on Bay Avenue
Chorus

Yes I am a bad parrothead, You are correct Cuervo.
Jimmy and Tcshudin wrote Everybody's Got a Cousin in Miami. That is what I get when I try to go off the top of my head

Nada....

Libraries are my favorite places in the world, next to airports....

Libraries are full of stories that take you away from real life......

I usually think of her when I hear "Coconut Telegraph". I think of a certain cute redhead when I hear "Love in the Library"

As long as I keep at least 50' from the Palest Man in Northern Alabama, he can't say much.

My wife is a librarian, so we HAD to visit there!

Fiance and I made our 1st trip to Gulf Shores together in March. I put that song on as we hit Downtown Mobile (Couldn't resist!), and pulled the map out. Got to pass by it, but didn't see the doomsday fanatic! Hope we can stop next time!

Mac is a genius as is JB both men are living legends
