Indigo Girls - Life's So Strange

Cold black coffee
Incessant stream of cars
Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars
Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground
Today the rain's just water
It won't stop from falling down

I grow weary waiting for my muse
But in between the times she comes
I still have to tie my shoes
And get on with my day
There are mornings when i'm more vigorous
And there are days i have to take the bus

Life's so rich
Life's so empty

Secret rendezvous
Long distance from a phone booth
Like two players in a mystery straight out of our youth
Well i'm finding that dramatics have lost their old appeal
I play the part of stoic lover but i'm not sure how i feel
I get discouraged waiting for the world
To understand this love affair
To understand the girl
There are moments when amelia's right beside me
The next thing i know
I taste the salt of the sea

Life's so rich
Life's so empty

Cold black coffee
Incessant stream of cars
Cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars
Yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground
Today the rain's just water
It won't stop from falling down

I grow weary i'm waiting for the world
To understand this love affair
To understand the girl
There are moments when amelia's right beside me
The next thing i know, i taste the salt of the sea

Life's so rich
Life's so empty
Life's so strange
Oh
