lyrics

XI. The Rain II (Hospitality)

Fiancée:
When he left, the rain came pouring down
And I saw that poor man outside upon the ground
The one for whom my man was the devil with a deck of cards
Spends his days at bars, his nights beneath the stars

So I said, "Why don't you come inside?
Warm your shaky bones by the fireside.
Oh, you know, my man won't mind.
And this is my house, so why don't you come in and get dry?"

He came in, the rain came pouring down
Took off his soggy boots and placed them on the ground
I got him a towel, I offered him a chair
He was so happy to sit there, then I noticed his dirty hair.

So I said, "Why don't you go and wash up?
The stairs are this way; there's a bathroom at the top.
There's a razor by the mirror, go ahead and have a shave.
You know my man don't mind, besides he's not home anyways."
