Betty's Diner (Remix) - Carrie Newcomer[00:00:00]
Written by:Carrie Newc[00:00:01]
Miranda works the late night counter[00:00:13]
In a joint called Betty's Diner[00:00:17]
Chrome and checkered tablecloths[00:00:20]
One steamy windowpane[00:00:22]
She got the job that shaky fall[00:00:26]
And after hours she'll write till dawn[00:00:29]
With a nod and smile she serves them all[00:00:32]
Here we are all in one place[00:00:38]
The wants and wounds of the human race[00:00:42]
Despair and hope sit face to face[00:00:45]
When you come in from the cold[00:00:48]
Let her fill your cup with something kind[00:00:51]
Eggs and toast like bread and wine[00:00:55]
She's heard it all so she don't mind[00:00:57]
Arthur lets his earl gray steep[00:01:08]
Since April it's been hard to sleep[00:01:10]
You know they tried most everything[00:01:14]
Yet it took her in the end[00:01:17]
Kevin tests new saxophones[00:01:20]
But swears he's leaving quality control[00:01:23]
For the Chicago scene or New Orleans[00:01:26]
Where they still play righteous horns[00:01:30]
Here we are all in one place[00:01:33]
The wants and wounds of the human race[00:01:36]
Despair and hope sit face to face[00:01:39]
When you come in from the cold[00:01:42]
Let her fill your cup with something kind[00:01:45]
Eggs and toast like bread and wine[00:01:49]
She's heard it all so she don't mind[00:01:52]
Jack studies here after work[00:02:02]
To get past high school he's the first[00:02:05]
And his large hands seem just as comfortable[00:02:09]
With a hammer or a pen[00:02:11]
Emma leaned and kissed his cheek[00:02:15]
And when she did his knees got weak[00:02:18]
Miranda smiles at 'em and winks[00:02:21]
Here we are all in one place[00:02:27]
The wants and wounds of the human race[00:02:31]
Despair and hope sit face to face[00:02:34]
When you come in from the cold[00:02:37]
Let her fill your cup with something kind[00:02:40]
Eggs and toast like bread and wine[00:02:44]
She's heard it all so she don't mind[00:02:46]
You never know who'll be your witness[00:02:57]
You never know who grants forgiveness[00:03:00]
Look to heaven or sit with us[00:03:03]
Deidra bites her lip and frowns[00:03:10]
She works the stop and go downtown[00:03:13]
She's pretty good at the crossword page[00:03:16]
And she paints her eyes blue black[00:03:19]
Tristan comes along sometimes[00:03:22]
Small for his age and he's barely five[00:03:25]
But she loves him like a mama lion[00:03:28]
Veda used to drink a lot[00:03:35]
Almost lost it all before she stopped[00:03:38]
Comes in at night with her friend Mike[00:03:42]
Who runs the crisis line[00:03:44]
Michael toured Saigon and back[00:03:48]
Hair the color of smoke and ash[00:03:51]
Their heads are bowed and hands are clasped[00:03:54]
One more storm has passed[00:03:58]
Here we are all in one place[00:04:00]
The wants and wounds of the human race[00:04:03]
Despair and hope sit face to face[00:04:07]
When you come in from the cold[00:04:10]
Let her fill your cup with something kind[00:04:12]
Eggs and toast like bread and wine[00:04:16]
She's heard it all so she don't mind[00:04:19]
