The Soaking Blues
you caught my eye walking by your door
fake that smile you got to know so well
remember the nights i burnt out on the floor
was it hard to tell i was under your spell
talking about the stars
talking about life
talking about the meaning
talking about strife
i waited by the station in the rain
its coming down melting my shoes
fixing my brain recalling your name
by the old man singing the blues
singing about love
singing about pain
singing like a walker
singing i love the rain
i scraped up my pride on my road back home
after giving my last coin to the buskers cup
im broken and cut rite down to the bone
telling the world how im down in my luck
soaking up wisdom
soaking up news
soaking up this
soaking while singing the blues
