Howlin Rain Show Business
Woke up at 8 to the rain coming in
Falling on my old red rug
I poured myself another wine and blew another line
And listened to your voice haunt my head
Maybe I mistook you for a diamond ring
Maybe there ain’t no such thing
We shared a bed laughing
And a pint or two of gin
That don’t mean were starring in the movies
Woke up at 8 to the sound of tears
Falling from our fool’s gold eyes
I watched your pale spine from the corner of the bed
Its shape began to scream at heaven
Maybe I mistook you for a diamond ring
Maybe there ain’t no such thing
We shared a bed, some laughs, and a pint or two of gin
That don’t mean were starring in the movies
Woke up at 8 to the sound of birds
Singing a lonely old song
They stood inside the light like the blood of the sun
Screaming “Where did it all go wrong?”
Maybe I mistook you for a diamond ring
Maybe there ain’t no such thing
We shared a bed laughing
And a pint or two of gin
That don’t mean were starring in the movies
