| Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett | |
| For Jane and Savannah Jane | |
| Payphones all were ringing as the crowd went roarin' by | |
| Lovely dancers swayin' to an island lullaby | |
| Beside the southern ocean taking stock of what's to be | |
| Writing you this letter that you'll probably never see | |
| Chorus: | |
| But I can't help but be | |
| Ruled by inconsistencies | |
| Not unique just distantly in love | |
| Tried to phone from Paris thinking things could be arranged | |
| Me and you would rendezvous but I found your number changed | |
| So I drove to San Remo where the crazy painter dwells | |
| Toasted our old photograph still up there on his shelf | |
| Chorus: | |
| But I can't help but be | |
| Ruled by my antiquities | |
| Not unique just distantly in love | |
| I can't be the one to fill | |
| Your times and all your places | |
| I can't be the one to fill | |
| Your blanks and empty spaces | |
| I heard it from a friend of ours I saw in Timber Bay | |
| You had a new lover who had stolen you away | |
| That could be the reason that I never got in touch | |
| May present slight problems if he loves you half as much | |
| Chorus: | |
| As I who can't help but be | |
| Ruled by my antiquities | |
| Not unique just distantly in love | |
| You know I can't help but be | |
| Part of my own philosophies | |
| Not unique just distantly in love | |
