|
The wind is ruthless |
|
The trees shake angry fingers at the sky |
|
The people hunch their shoulders |
|
Hold their collars over their earsand run by |
|
It's a cold rain |
|
It's a hard rain |
|
Like the kind that you find in songs |
|
I guess that makes methe jerk with the heartache |
|
Here to sing youabout how i've been done wrong |
|
And i am sitting, watching |
|
Out the window of the coffee shop |
|
And i am waiting, waiting |
|
Waiting for it to let up |
|
I am rocking like a cradle |
|
Warming my hands with the cup in between |
|
I am leaning over the table |
|
Holding my face over the steam |
|
And before it gets so cold |
|
That the rain turns to snow |
|
There's just a couple things |
|
I'd like to know |
|
Like how could you do nothing |
|
And say, i'm doing my best |
|
How could you take almost everything |
|
And then come back for the rest |
|
How could you beg me to stay, |
|
Reach out your hands and plead |
|
And then pack up your eyes and run away |
|
As soon as i agreed |
|
It just all slips |
|
Away so slowly |
|
You don't even notice till you've lost a lot |
|
I've been like one of those zombies |
|
In vegas |
|
Pouring quarters into a slot |
|
And now i'm tired |
|
And i am broke |
|
And i feel stupid and i feel used |
|
And i'm at the end of my little rope |
|
And i am swinging back and forth |
|
About you |
|
Before it gets so cold |
|
That the rain turns to snow |
|
There's just a couple things |
|
I'd like to know |
|
Like how could you do nothing |
|
And say, i'm doing my best |
|
How could you take almost everything |
|
And then come back for the rest |
|
How could you beg me to stay, |
|
Reach out your hands and plead |
|
And then pack up your eyes and run away |
|
As soon as i agreed |
