Piedmont Park

It was easy to tell she'd been doin' well
She wore those little alligator soft pastels
Khaki slacks straight from the racks of Saks Fifth Avenue
Faded jeans worn at the seams there I sat with the love of my teens
She apologized but said don't be surprised but there's something that I must say to you

I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again I swear it from my heart
Nothing ever did compare to that night that we shared in the dark
I never loved again after Piedmont Park

She held my hand and found the band of gold that told I was a married man
She said she'd been a fool since we were kids in school to just hurt me and just walk away
She came to town just to kick around
She just washed out of her third go-around
After twenty years she said through her tears, I can still honestly say

I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again, I swear it from my heart
Nothing ever did compare to that night that we shared in the dark
I never loved again after Piedmont Park

In halting tender awkwardness we dared to reminisce of crinolines
And long lost friends and the loss of innocence
I paid the tab, she hailed a cab, the day turned misty, grey, and drab
And as I watched her lights fade into the night I can still hear her say

I never loved again after Piedmont Park
I never loved again, I swear it from my heart
Nothing ever did compare to that night that we shared in the dark
I never loved again after Piedmont Park

I never loved again after Piedmont Park
