Sing For Julia

(i hope this is for Julia B...)

 the wind is ruthless
 the trees shake angry fingers at the sky
 the people hunch their shoulders
 hold their collars over their ears and run by
 it's a cold rain
 it's a hard rain
 like the kind you find in songs
 i guess that makes me the jerk with the heartache
 here to sing to you about how i been done wrong
 
 i am sitting, watching
 out the window of the coffee shop
 and i'm waiting, waiting
 waiting for it to let up
 i am rocking like a cradle
 warming my hands with the cup in between
 i am leaning over the table
 holding my face over the steam
 
 and before it gets so cold
 that the rain turns to snow
 there's just a couple things
 i'd like to know

 like how could you do nothing 
 and say, i'm doing my best
 how could you take almost everything
 and then come back for the rest
 how could you beg me to stay
 reach out your hands and plead
 and then pack up your eyes and run away
 as soon as i agreed
 
 it just all slips 
 away so slowly
 you don't even notice till you've lost a lot
 i've been like one of those zombies
 in vegas
 pouring quarters into a slot
 and now i'm tired
 and i am broke
 and i feel stupid and i feel used
 and i'm at the end of my little rope
 and i am swinging back and forth
 about you

 and before it gets so cold
 that the rain turns to snow
 there's just a couple things
 i'd like to know 

 like how could you do nothing
 and say, i'm doing my best
 how could you take almost everything
 and then come back for the rest
 how could you beg me to stay
 reach out your hands and plead
 and then pack up your eyes and run away
 as soon as i agreed
