The Cement Lament Lyrics

It was that kind of misting rain

It was that kind of night

Nothing was wrong

Oh, it just wasn't right

It weren't the blues

It weren't low rent

It was just the cement lament

All these late night alleys

All these late night alley cats

It starts raining harder

She adjusts her hat

It weren't the blues

It weren't low rent

It was just the cement lament

A streetlight goes out

She makes her wish

A taxi turns on the corner

A puddle makes a splish

It weren't the blues

It weren't low rent

It was just the cement lament

How many years has it been

Since you left that old hometown

Both eyes on your feet

Both feet on the ground

It's not the blues

It's not low rent

It's just the cement lament

It's not superstitionMichelle Shocked - The Cement Lament - http://motolyrics.com/michelle-shocked/the-cement-lament-lyrics.html

It's just playing it smart

Don't step on the cracks

Now don't you break your mama's heart

It's not the blues

It's not low rent

It's just the cement lament

Sun's rolling up the East River

It slowly dawns on you

You're smoking your last cigarette

The rain has stopped the sky is blue

Time to shake this mood

Someone's got to pay that rent

Someone's shift just started

Singing the cement lament

Singing the cement lament

Singing the cement lament

Singing the cement lament

Singing the cement lament

Singing the cement lament

Singing, singing

Swinging, swinging

Singing and swinging

Singing and swinging

Swinging and singing

Swinging and singing

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah
