They sat in an Abandoned Luncheonette
sipping imaginary cola and drawing faces in the tabletop dust His voice was rusty from years as a sergeant on "this man's army" they were old and crusty She was twenty when the diner was a baby He was the dishwasher, busy in the back, his hands covered with gravy Hair black and wavy Brilliantine slick, a pot - cleaning dandy, He was young and randy Day to day, to day... today then they were old, their lives wasted away Month to month, year to year they all run together time measured by the peeling of paint on the luncheonette wall They sat together in the empty diner filled with cracked china Old news was blowing across the filthy floor and the sign on the door read "this way out", that's all it read that's all it said |

Everytime I look at you, I can't believe what you did to me
You had me thinkin' we was all right, then you pulled your trick and walked right out on me You had me thinkin' we were in the sky today I'd like to lay down and die If you've gotta be leavin', well that's swell I think it's fine girl, you found what you want So it's goodbye girl, yes, no? Everytime I see your face, I can't believe how you lied to me so get your laundry out of my place go and live with someone else for free You had me thinkin' we was in the sky today I'd like to lay down and die Baby it's goodbye it's goodbye |

Were you ever so in love
you couldn't wait to get to sleep and dream about the one you wish was there beside you In the past few days I've grown to love your giggles on the phone and how we hug so nicely Chorus: And from the first time that I saw you has I known you better then I would've said those three old words And from the first time I saw you had I known you better then Now I'm gonna move away another town another crazy day ooh I want to stay and maybe hang around you Call it luck call it fate call it a shame that we have met so late and loved so lightly Chorus: And from the first time that I saw you had I known you better then I would've said those three old words And from the first time that I saw you had I known you better then |

Can you see my past Can you find my future Should I take it slower 'til my life is over Oh Lady Rain... is it I'll be going down in pain? Chorus: Lady Rain, lay your sobbin' hair down on my shoulder Lady Rain, do your cloudy eyes see me much older? All the days I've lost hoping and pretending that my days would flow smooth and slow toward their ending Oh Lady Rain... is it I'll be going down in pain? |

Sara's off on a turnaround
flying gambling fools to the holy land, Las Vegas sometimes she's HERE and sometimes she can't be found, turnaround AND Sara's off, half hiding, far above the clouds, high she flies I know I've got to find her a place she can push her toes around in She needs a place where she can lounge and wear a gown in Sara turnaround turnaround Sara's off on a turnaround to Las Vegas, turnaround And any night she's here or half way 'round the world, oh I could cry AND So I know I've got to pray for delays and for days 'til she's besides me All alone in her room and her scattered clothes remind me Sara please Sara turnaround |

Everybody's high on consolation
Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me, yeah My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me Sorry Charlie for the imposition I think I've got it, I got the strength to carry on, yeah I need a drink and a quick decision Now it's up to me, ooh what will be? Chorus: She's Gone She's Gone Oh why? Oh why? I better learn how to face it She's Gone She's Gone Oh why? Oh why? I'd pay the devil to replace her She's Gone She's Gone Oh why? Oh why? What went wrong? Get up in the morning, look in the mirror One less toothbrush hanging in the stand My face ain't looking any younger Now I can see love's taken a toll on me Chorus Think I'll spend eternity in the city Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories But they can never be what she once was to me Chorus |

I went downtown to see milady
she stood me up and I stood there waiting but it'll be all right when The Morning Comes Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair I've got nowhere to go, so I can go anywhere and it'll be all right when the Morning Comes Just in passing, I'm not asking that you can be anyone but you When you come home try to come home alone it's so much better with two Now I'm out in the cold and I'm getting old standing here waiting on you but it'll be all right when the Morning Comes |
