 AFTER IT RAINS (In a Hotel Bar Someplace North of Here) Copyright 2003 by Adam Selzer, all rights reserved, ASCAP
Well the rain and the other shoe fell in the evening at twenty five minutes past ten and every damned station seems to be black and white Paulette Goddard's on TV again Waving goodbye to the kids on the corner I took that road clean away the morning came early but the sun never rose everything is dirty and grey. All the sailors kiss their girls out in the Marshalltown lanes and I'll feel a whole lot better after it rains. The trees all have whiskers and the stars all have ears the red wine is Iowa's best the patron saint of something is sitting at the bar insisting that everyone's blessed. There's a girl next to me, says that they call her "Red" like the color that her bangs are dyed there's a busted piano at the back of the room and it smells just like winter outside All the sailors kiss their girls out in the Marshalltown lanes and I'll feel a whole lot better after it rains. Now I miss you each morning and every night since play piano til my fingers bleed while I picture your hands and your hair running through my fingers like rosary beads. Just like a rock star, I trashed my hotel room drank a three dollar bottle of wine went back to the bar to see if Red was still there but I never got you off my mind All the sailors kiss their girls out in the Marshalltown lanes and I'll feel a whole lot better after it rains. 7/01-5/02
