Lyrics
Rush hour
And the days dawning
The rain came
And pushed me under the awning
The puddles grew and threw themselves at me
With every passing car
Im shielding my guitar
And there were some things that i
Did not tell him
There were certain things
He did not need to know
And there were some days
When I did not love him
He didnt understand me
And I dont know why
I didnt go
He said change the channel
Ive got problems of my own
Im so sick of hearing about drugs
And aids
And people without homes
And I said well
Id like to sympathize with that
But if you dont understand
Then how can you act
I expected summer to be there in the morning
I woke to the alarm
But she was out of arms reach
Sneaking out
On silent thighs
That were spent and sore
From the hot nights that came before
He said I looked for you
I dont know why
I said I was wearing black so you could
See me against the sky
Take your big leather boots
And your buckles and your chains
Put them on a downtown train
I expected he would be there in the morning
I awoke to the alarm
He was still in arms reach
But his body was just a disguise
His mind had wandered off long ago
You see in his eyes
Love isnt over when the sheets are stained
In my head there remains
So much left to be said
Make me laugh make me cry enrage me
But just dont try to disengage me
