Runnin my mouth off at the storm

Yelling man, what the hell did you do that for?

And I was watching the old men fish

And they'd all give their catch away

And I could hear a woman singing

And I could hear that piano play

It'd go like

Where did you get you bad breath?

I want some, oh a drag off your cigarette

And I was thinking about a song

That I heard when I was young

And I was wondering 'bout its trumpeter

How he could get those horns to talk

Something like

Tears will gather in my eyes

Hold my head, and babe y'know I'll cry

And I was thinking bout the places I'd been

With you always at my side

Like a baby, oh I held my head and cried

C'mon dorothy y'know we could go all night

Hey, it's nighttime and y'know

Its getting cold so babe put on some clothes

And lets go hit the town

And we could fill a room up with smoke

Y'know I got the first round

As we tell all those stories told

And I would pretend you were new

Like I was just introduced to you

And all the music in my ears

Sounds beautiful down here

And I could hear that drummer roll

As I listened to that choir cry

And I could hear that guitar weeping

I could feel those pipers pipe

And all the beauty I couldn't see

Well it just cut me at my knees

And I was watching the old men fish

And they'd all give their catch away

And I could hear a woman singing

And I could hear that piano play

Tears wills gather in my eye

Hold my head oh and babe you know I'll cry

Like a baby I held my head and cried

C'mon dorothy y'know we could go all night
