Evening Rain

Evening Rain Written by Mike Burkholder

Subway cars and corner bars are where you make a home
Satin socks and pinned up locks slouched upon your throne
But your jaded smirk and faded skirt spin stories of their own
Of drunken fights and endless nights along the routes you roam

Bleeding hearts and broken glass no strangers to your scene
Neon glow and amber flow bystanders to your scheme
Around and round the wheel it turns and it’s a vicious one you know
When every guy that stumbles by is just a rolling stone

Evening rain upon the gutter
Same old pain upon the skin
Another night to bundle tight your gentleness and grace
To hide your tears behind a stranger’s face

I’ve seen you in the dancehalls and I’ve felt you in your pain
Patronizing every soul who’d throw into the game
But I’ve loved you in the twilight and I’ll love you just the same
When all the walls come tumbling down upon the tracks you’ve laid

Evening rain upon the gutter
Same old pain upon the skin
Another night to bundle tight your gentleness and grace
To hide your tears behind a stranger’s face

Evening rain upon the gutter
Same old pain upon the skin
Another night to bundle tight your gentleness and grace
To hide your tears behind a stranger’s face
