Lyrics: |
Apartment windows with their parchment promenades |
| And televisions flickering right on through the shades | |
| A fallen curtain rod like a moth caught in a lamp | |
| This city reads just like a stack of postcards all missing a stamp | |
| And I felt the rain gently settling right at my feet | |
| And I left my baby standing there, standing right there on the street | |
| Somewhere back home, my mama's trying hard to sleep | |
| Her precious [???] bag of toys, lost from some old Christmas eve | |
| One telephone beside her bed, one telephone beside the couch | |
| She keeps the damage we all weather, yeah, right there to herself | |
| And she's felt the rain gently settling right at her feet | |
| She's held her babies close to her, standing right there on the street | |
| It's always nighttime at the movies, that’s what my mama said | |
| That’s why the folks who have bad days at work, they all end up there | |
| Oh, drive-in screen's [??] and they're covering with weeds | |
| Private investigators are in search of my old memories | |
| And I felt the rain gently settling right at my feet | |
| I left my baby standing there, standing right there on the street | |
| And detectives felt the rain gently settling right at their feet | |
| And come back empty-handed, saying there just ain't no leads |
