Fred Eaglesmith - Highheels In The Rain lyrics

The last time I that I seen her She was standing on the sidewalk In front of the town café And she smiled and she waved When I called out her name Then she just looked back down again Maybe she didn't want me to come on over Maybe she was only ashamed Of the bright coloured make up that she wore on her face And those high heels that she wears in the rain They had them a place on the 16th line A mile or so outside the city' And the truckers come in with all their sad stories And they feed ‘m breakfast and pity But the days were long and the work was hard And I guess she decided to trade Bacon and eggs, a buck ninety nine For high heels she could wear in the rain She moved into town She got a place That backs of on to the street Him and me we sit in the shadows we listened To the music coming down through her screen And in the morning she wakes up and draws back the curtains And looks out on a brand new day She put on her things and steps into the streets With those high heels that she wears in the rain And he used to drink Cause he thought it might save him Now he just drinks to drown There's been times when I told him I'd like to help him He says he'd rather I just push him down Sometimes she walks by with a man on her arm And she won't even look our way With her hair tied and her bright coloured eyes And those high heels that she wears in the rain The last time that I seen her She was standing on the sidewalk In front of the town café
