It was someplace in Santa Maria County, the way he figured it. The place where they both realized the other knew it was over, no matter what.<\/p>\n

They’d talked all night, driving down from Oregon. But no one had spoken in over an hour.<\/p>\n

She turned away from the window slowly a few moments after he spoke and she looked at him. He turned his eyes back to the road.<\/p>\n

“There are a million kinds of forever,” she said, finally. “But there’s only one kind of never.”<\/p>\n

“Jesus,” he said. “That sounds like the lyrics to one of my crap songs.”<\/p>\n

“You’re too hard on yourself.” She turned back to the window.<\/p>\n

After a moment, she added, “And, besides, your crap songs are all you’ve got.”<\/p>\n

lyrics<\/span><\/span>
\nNow, Baby, It’s Never<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Everything you say
\nseems to mean goodby
\nThough we talked forever
\nI never did know why<\/p>\n

Now baby its never<\/span>
\nour time wont come again<\/span>
\nThis time forever baby<\/span>
\nThis time it’s the end<\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight when you kissed me
\nit burned me to my soul
\nEverything I thought I knew
\nwas all a lie I know<\/p>\n

Now baby its never…<\/span><\/p>\n

I walked along the aqueduct
\njust before the dawn
\nThe sun looked old and tired as it came up
\nbut at least the night was gone<\/p>\n

Now baby its never…<\/span><\/p>\n
