Lyrics

We were destined for this moment
Standing on the corner fresh with rain
Blackbird on the horizon
Two hearts filled with sorrow and with pain
So you keep the car running
Say you got to be someplace by eight
In one lonesome moment
I feel my world crumble and break

And the river runs deep
Dark clouds will rise
I?m seeing you Sherry
With faraway eyes

This room looks so empty
These walls just staring at my face
Turn the stereo loud
Cheerful voice of Tom Waits
Picture on the table
You and me in Santa Cruz
There?s fog in my mind
Waters dripping down in my shoes

Chorus

Walk these city streets
I see your name lit up in lights
Your picture on the poster
Funny how the camera at the Blackbird lies
From a booth in the corner
Dirty wallpaper and cheap perfume
The neon light prevails
Sugar coat the stench in this room

Chorus
