Rain On Bleeker

[Verse 1] Corner table By the fogged-up glass Coat still dripping Watching taxis pass Steam from the cup Rises, curls, then fades Like half-formed plans And half-kept yesterdays [Chorus] Rain on Bleeker, talking low to me Streetlights smear in silver down the street Stirring up this coffee, stirring up old dreams In this crowded quiet, I’m alone and free Rain on Bleeker, writing on the pane Tiny little rivers spelling out your name Sip by sip, the city softens into blue I’m learning how to be here Here without you [Verse 2] Old man laughing With the weary staff Barista humming Some forgotten jazz Paperback open But I’ve read this page Same three lines Same old names, same ache [Chorus] Rain on Bleeker, talking low to me Streetlights smear in silver down the street Stirring up this coffee, stirring up old dreams In this crowded quiet, I’m alone and free Rain on Bleeker, writing on the pane Tiny little rivers spelling out your name Sip by sip, the city softens into blue I’m learning how to be here Here without you [Bridge] Maybe I stay ’Til the chairs get stacked Let the late train go Don’t hurry back (mm) Let the night Take what it’s owed Every drop of you Washing down the road [Chorus] Rain on Bleeker, talking low to me Streetlights smear in silver down the street Stirring up this coffee, stirring up old dreams In this crowded quiet, I’m alone and free Rain on Bleeker, writing on the pane Tiny little rivers spelling out your name Sip by sip, the city softens into blue I’m learning how to be here Here without you
