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
