Indigo Girls - Life's So Strange lyrics

Cold black coffee Incessant stream of cars Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground Today the rain's just water It won't stop from falling down I grow weary waiting for my muse But in between the times she comes I still have to tie my shoes And get on with my day There are mornings when i'm more vigorous And there are days i have to take the bus Life's so rich Life's so empty Secret rendezvous Long distance from a phone booth Like two players in a mystery straight out of our youth Well i'm finding that dramatics have lost their old appeal I play the part of stoic lover but i'm not sure how i feel I get discouraged waiting for the world To understand this love affair To understand the girl There are moments when amelia's right beside me The next thing i know I taste the salt of the sea Life's so rich Life's so empty Cold black coffee Incessant stream of cars Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground Today the rain's just water It won't stop from falling down I grow weary i'm waiting for the world To understand this love affair To understand the girl There are moments when amelia's right beside me The next thing i know, i taste the salt of the sea Life's so rich Life's so empty Life's so strange Oh
