Highheels In The Rain

The last time I that I seen her

She was standing on the sidewalk

In front of the town café

And she smiled and she waved

When I called out her name

Then she just looked back down again

Maybe she didn't want me to come on over

Maybe she was only ashamed

Of the bright coloured make up that she wore on her face

And those high heels that she wears in the rain

They had them a place on the 16th line

A mile or so outside the city'

And the truckers come in with all their sad stories

And they feed ‘m breakfast and pity

But the days were long and the work was hard

And I guess she decided to trade

Bacon and eggs, a buck ninety nine

For high heels she could wear in the rain

She moved into town

She got a place

That backs of on to the street

Him and me we sit in the shadows we listened

To the music coming down through her screen

And in the morning she wakes up and draws back the curtains

And looks out on a brand new day

She put on her things and steps into the streets

With those high heels that she wears in the rain

And he used to drink

Cause he thought it might save him

Now he just drinks to drown

There's been times when I told him

I'd like to help him

He says he'd rather

I just push him down

Sometimes she walks by with a man on her arm

And she won't even look our way

With her hair tied and her bright coloured eyes

And those high heels that she wears in the rain

The last time that I seen her

She was standing on the sidewalk

In front of the town café
