Jerry Leger - Beating The Storm Lyrics

It's a case of forgetting that the night might be wrong
In thinking that he's regretting all alone
It's an old café in the middle of some place warm
Cigarette walls peel to the floor
But it's a safe trap when he gives you a call
It's a case of beating the storm

He's been dying for a night on the town
Looking for ways one could stop from settling down
He meets you every night just to tell you what he's found
That the world doesn't mind
When you can't throw in a dime
And he's sick and tired of doing the time anymore
It's a case of beating the storm

Oh no he can't turn back
When the deal is written to sign
But if it gets ripped up
He could just close his eyes and sigh

Things are nicer when it's coffee for two
Begging for the answers he's been dreaming from you
The candles burn longer if your clothes are ragged and torn
Thoughts are piling up and a change is gonna come
With him in the car expected to run
It's a case of beating the storm
