CAs the cafe was Fclosing
On a warm summer Gnight
And FCathy was Gcleaning the Cspoons
The Fradio played the Chit parade
And DI hummed a long with the Gtune
She Fasked me to change the Cstation
Said the Fsong just drove her Ginsane
But it Cweren't just the music Fplaying
It was Gme that she was trying to Cblame.
Chorus
And the Fsky is black and Cstill now
On the Fhill where the angels Gsing
Ain't it Ffunny how an old broken Cbottle
Looks Cjust like a Gdiamond Cring
But its Ffar, Gfar from Cme
Well I leaned on my left leg
In the parking lot dirt
And Cathy was closing the lights
A june bug flew from the warmth he once knew
And I wished for once I weren't right
Why we used to laugh together
And we'd dance to any old song.
Well ya know she still laughs with me
But she waits just a second too long.
Well I started the engine
And I gave it some gas
And Cathy was closing her purse
Well we hadn't gone far in my beat up old car
And I was prepared for the worst.
Will you still see me tomorrow?
No I got too much to do.
Well a question ain't really a question
If you know the answer too.
