Lyrics

D C C/G Early morning, air is still G D Sky is bloody brown on blue C C/G I look out and watch life spill G D Onto Mildred Avenue…. Am/E Gm/D F A (d) A Asus A no chord D Dsus D C C/G G Gsus G D Dsus D I watch and I wait. C C/G She pulls up an easy chair G D Inside her Ryder rental van C C/G Slowly braids her daughter’s hair G D It stops the shaking of her hands. C C/G She discovered long ago G D Home is where it doesn’t rain C C/G Her eyes are sad, but there’s no pain, G D Dsus D And she watches. And she waits. C C/D Down the street a mime awakes G D In his ’84 Hyundai C C/G He pulls out his theater paint G D DsuS D And slowly draws his face C C/G A silent world is not a choice G D But words aren’t what he’s looking for C C/G His heart, his eyes, they are his voice G D Dsus D And he watches. And he waits. C C/G She flies down her apartment stairs G D Still listening for her phone C C/G She wonders now if he still cares G D Dsus D And why he’s not home. C C/G She walks by the mime again, G D he watches her take out her keys C C/G The engine starts, he turns to speak, G D Dsus D ….But she’s gone. Am/E Gm/D F A (d) A Asus A D Dsus D C C/G G D C It’s going to be hot today. C/G G D Dsus D Too darn hot to be saved. C C/G G D The best that you can do is pray for rain. C C/G G D Dsus D C C/G G Gsus G D Dsus D All you can do is pray for rain. C G Hey Messiah D D/G D You know, I know I …see you every morning D/G C C/G Hey mister could you please G Spare me D Dsus D C C/G G Gsus G D Dsus D A smile. I lay myself down to sleep I pray to God my soul to keep If I should die before I wake I pray to God my soul to take If I should lose my life today On this bright hot August day My soul will find another way Just bury me in west LA
