She works in the diner for hard pay A
picture of her daughter gets her
through the day She's a pretty girl
who never smiles She refills my
coffee I've been here for a while Nail
down the windows tight bring the
dogs inside there's a storm building up
behind building up behind you and me
tonight everything will be all right just
Close the door and shades stay with
me sweetly I can't go away stay with
me sweetly
Like gravity on ankles and tired on
eyes A dead weight strangles she's
given up tonight
Let the firelight warm your eyes dance
with me barefoot tonight there's a
storm building up behind building up
behind you and me tonight
everything's gonna be all right just
She works in the diner it's what it
take She walks around barefoot
dances through her breaks lost years
of smiles replaced cut the rope dead
weight A storm is about to break
about to break the clouds in two for a
full moon moon shining light on you
