Jim Tidman - Meter Maid Lyrics



Jim Tidman - Meter Maid Lyrics




There's a meter maid, standing on the corner When the rain stops again, and things ain't getting any brighter, And she's not wrong
I'm just sittin' in a restaurant, waitin' for my shoes to dry, starin' out the window, when the bus stops,
And there ain't any riders
No one's getting on

And a man with a briefcase on his head goes rushin' past
Looks up at the sky and wonders, is it gonna last?
The rain makes tiny rivers roll on down theglass of the window pane
And I wanna thank you again

My coffee cup is empty, and the waitress tries to tell me with another,
But I'm thinkin' that I oughta try to get myself together, and get on home
So I reach into my pocket, pay the bill and starts to walk
When I get up to the doorway, you're standin' right before me with another
No, you're not alone

You don't say a word
I don't say one either
We just move to the edges of the doorway for each other
You're comin' in
And I'm about to leave
Buy you brush against me
And we don't breath

I'm lyin' next to you, when my mind is driftin'
You say my name, when you're half asleep
You know me
Even when I'm a stranger,
We ain't in love no more
That's what we're tryin' to believe

Now I'm back out in the rain again, I pull my collar to my chin
Turn it to the weather, well I guess it's now or never
So I just, I just start to walk

Two blocks up, one block over, is the place where you stayed over
For the first time, a diner sign lighting up the body while you sleep
Still and soft

But in this town
It's too damn small
Every corner, and every window, and every wall
You're pushin' at me, but tryin' to make me fall
I turn off the lane, cause I wanna thank you again

I'm lyin' next to you, but my mind is driftin' You say my name, when you're half asleep
I know you, even when you're a stranger
We ain't in love no more
That's what we're tryin' to believe
