Song Information:

This is an older song that I never really played much or recorded before. Despite the pathetic self-pity of the singer, it's really meant to be pretty tongue in cheek. Sort of my John Prine type of song. I play acoustic guitars and there's some quiet piano and really quiet synth, and Drums on Demand loops. And the phlegmy vocal is courtesy of a head cold.

Song Lyrics:

It never rains but it leaks
It's in the small signs you chose to leave
It's never pourin' down on me now but
It's just this longing constantly
I had a hole but now it's patched
I had an open door but now it's latched
I guess you still have that key but
I guess we weren't such a perfect match

Finding all the little notes you left
finding better words to speak
the bitterness of time misspent
has left me feeling week

Someday you'll come to get your things
there was always something you were forgetting
I guess there's things you'll just replace
Meanwhile the dust is gathering
It's a new broom that sweeps clean
I guess I now know wha that really means
It's not like you to make a scene but
I didn't expect your exit to be made quite so quietly

Finding all the little notes you left
finding better words to speak
the bitterness of time misspent
has left me feeling week

I'm walkin' the floor over you
I keep humming a tune I think it's "Almost Blue"
I hear these echoes everywhere
Maybe there's something I can use

Finding all the little notes you left
finding better words to speak
the bitterness of time misspent
has left me feeling week

It never closes but that door creaks
I'll get it fixed eventually
You never liked to make a scene
It never rains but it leaks...
