lyrics

I came in on the back of a bad storm

Ducked into a doorway off Church Avenue

And the lamppost light glowed soft and warm

So I stayed a while and watched the night go by

Saw a cloud of smoke rise high

Curl from a chimney like a sigh

Into an April sky


And I took a job the first place I could find

In a kitchen tucked away beneath the railway line

And the trains would cross above from time to time

And the pots and pans would rattle on the wall

Like some ancient battle call

Feel like a general sent to war

On a foreign shore


There’s a girl I had my eye on for a while

She works behind the counter at the jazz café

If I could only find the words to make her smile

I could stop pretending not to know the names

Of the records that she plays

She’s got Bill Evans on again

You Must Believe in Spring


Now I’m staring out the window at the rain

Been in this city for a year and every day I feel the same

Like if I stay here for just one more day

I’ll be sleeping when my spirit slips away

Like some cloud of smoke and rain

Like two overpassing trains

Like a smile on a lonesome face
