Christchurch Woman

(album: Harlem River Blues - 2010)

I was doing alright
Laying in and laying low
I was wasting my night
Calling in my favorite songs on the local radio
I was standing in the window
Staring down into the streets
Just when the lightning flashed and the thunder rolled, and the telephone rings

I'm waiting for a Christchurch woman in the rain
And the rain keep coming, but it ain't enough to cover the pain

Now I've always been a fool
For a conversation and a couple of smokes
Yeah and when I'm feeling this blue
I just need someone to laugh at my jokes

I'm waiting for a Christchurch woman in the rain
And it's early evening, so there's hope for a better day

Now I know it's getting late
It's Friday night and the crowds are starting to fade away
I know I shouldn't be here waiting on her
But I keep thinking any second she'll be coming round the corner
And I should be in my room
Man I should learn how to forget
Well she may be pretty but someday I'll get sick of her shit

I'm waiting for a Christchurch woman in the rain
Rain keep coming but it ain't enough to cover the pain
I'm waiting for a Christchruch woman in the rain
And it's early evening so there's hope for a better day
