about

I have carried this song with me for quite a while now but have never gotten around to recording it because I couldn't imagine a studio version of it. In the end I am almost content with how it turned out. Please note that I cannot remember whether it is telling a story that I have witnessed or dreamed.

lyrics

in a secluded corner on the terminal quay
where the strangers go and the natives stay
she sings 'come on break the rain'
and even some might stop and have her explain
if they knew she doesn't mean to entertain
when she sings 'come on break the rain'

i'm saying hey
come along
hey
come along

watching the busses as they pass and leave
but her back's pressed hard against the seat
and she sings 'come on break the rain'
figuring a way to finally get it done
imagine what if she ever really got onto one
but she sings 'come on break the rain'

i'm saying hey
come along
hey
come along

and she goes on for ages and looks for a sign
in the heads and the faces, looks and likes
where nothing is easy, she's holding the line
ain't calling for help as she's singing her song
na-na-na
but how long do you think you can elongate a line?

in a secluded corner on the terminal quay
where the strangers go and the natives stay
she sings 'come on break the rain'
and even some might stop and have her explain
if they knew she doesn't mean to entertain
when she sings 'come on break the rain'
