Drops From The Faucet - Nanci Griffith[00:00:00]
Drops from the faucet like a nervous heart[00:00:14]
Beat on my porcelain sink a rhythm avant-garde[00:00:20]
I page through the phone book reach for my fountain pen[00:00:27]
Is he comin' in for the holidays to haunt me again[00:00:34]
I call up Grand Central information please[00:00:40]
Is that nickel line on time[00:00:47]
Oh fine[00:00:51]
And it's a hair-do with a wave[00:00:52]
We both forgot and forgave last time[00:00:57]
Peddlar of pots and pans down on Union Square[00:01:07]
Said City Hall wants us off the street[00:01:12]
There's no Christmas in the air[00:01:16]
Some high-brows were waiting[00:01:20]
Carnation bright lapels[00:01:22]
Their big cars lined the curbs outside those grand hotels[00:01:27]
I passed a marquee Third Avenue[00:01:33]
Ramona with Loretta Young and I swung myself around[00:01:39]
And headed uptown to the train[00:01:50]
So this is New year's eve another year has passed[00:02:54]
We wait so patiently still they come and go so fast[00:03:01]
I stand on this platform wait for that basket of light[00:03:07]
And the sound of the whistle screamin' out[00:03:13]
Like some hot trumpet in the night[00:03:16]
And as I'm waitin' I wonder why and where[00:03:21]
And what went wrong[00:03:28]
But this song don't tell no lies[00:03:31]
It was just a quick good-bye yeah[00:03:38]
