Abandoned Luncheonette lyrics

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,

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?

Laughin' Boy, guitar Johnny's playing the blues so low
Laughin' Boy, don't it make you want to cry
You know, I can't imagine you were the magic boy so long ago
Your life and dreams are broken, you hate the world but you can't
Live alone
Ain't that fine?
I'm your friend that knows you and I'd like to tell you
That I think your laugh's a lie

Laughin' Boy, that's you layin' in the meadow

[Chorus:]
Lady Rain, lay your sobbin' hair down on my shoulder
Lady Rain, do your cloudy eyes see me much older?

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?

Everybody's high on consolation

Everybody's trying to tell me what's right for me

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, got the strength to carry on

I need a drink and a quick decision

Now it's up to me, ooh what will be

Chorus:

She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd

[Chorus:]
Sara's off on a turnaround
Flying gambling fools to the holy land, Las Vegas
Sometimes she's home and sometimes she can't be found,
Turnaround

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

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

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
