Lyrics

[00:22.25] She smelled like a thunderstorm
[00:27.64] When I met her
[00:33.59] Down in the Tenderloin
[00:38.47] Sipping tea
[00:41.86]
[00:44.56] Vicodin pills some scotch
[00:49.78] And a sweater
[00:53.88]
[00:55.43] Soon I was feeling
[00:58.51] Back on my feet
[01:02.82]
[01:28.63] She lived in a little shack
[01:33.67] By the water
[01:39.39] The sound of the ships would lull
[01:44.63] Us to sleep
[01:49.87]
[01:50.50] A couple of sloths the world
[01:55.85] Had forgotten
[01:58.58]
[02:01.45] With nothing but youth
[02:04.59] And faraway dreams
[02:11.46]
[03:08.91] After the saints fly home
[03:11.50]
[03:13.37] Solomon resting in his tomb
[03:19.11] Paperbacks on a train
[03:23.24]
[03:24.37] Sugarcane fields
[03:26.99] All wet with rain
[03:29.16]
[03:29.99] Hurricane lanterns glow
[03:34.33]
[03:35.48] After the rain the boats are slow
[03:40.23]
[03:40.84] I’d rather be left behind
[03:45.38]
[03:46.61] Nothing’s as pure
[03:49.16] As an empty mind
