Every time that someone walks in. She turns around to see if it's him. She checks her watch by the clock. I can't count the times he's stood her up. And one's to much.
When she told you goodbye. You didn't flinch. When she looked back. You didn't even budge an inch. You stood there like a stone. But now that she's gone.
North Louisiana on a saturday night. I was sittin in the glow of the dashboard lights. Ill never forget I was 6 years old. When I heard it comin out of daddys radio.
Two buttons on her blouse open. Along with the windows, hopin'. She might catch an evenin' breeze. Oh, yeah. . Ice cube down her neck drippin'. Oh, my look where it's slippin'.
She wears a halo of ashes. Specter on the wind. Waits on me so patiently. I no longer can pretend. . Sky lies a thousand mile below. Stars shine and the moon is clear.
She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time. Like a broken field runner slippin' through the line. He likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says.
God I'm in this place again I'm trying so hard not to fall,. but everything keeps coming down with the rain.. And I try so hard I forget to call.. Everybody's looking around, and wants to be found..
I think of her in the sunken blue. I think of her. . Living in a plasticine colored dream. The fire below and scenery. She's the rose in my gun. Sweep me up, I'm done.
Two buttons on her blouse open. Along with the windows. Hoping she might catch an evening breeze. Oh, yeah. . Ice cube down her neck dripping. Oh, my look where it's slipping.
