Album: The Ballad of Willy Robbins
Blue-eyed baby in the cafe window
where do ya go late tonight 'cause I head home
well it’s rainin' outside, but I don’t mind
Blue-eyed baby, I take my time
Blue-eyed baby, I’m doin' fine
I’m glad I’m walkin' home, it’s good for some change
Now I’m wonderin' if you can see me from your side of the window pane
ya cinch the ribbon in your hair, I’m fogged up in this drippin' rain
Blue-eyed baby, same shit, most days
Ya make me feel like tomorrow can feel like I do today
My body’s tense, I hold an anvil in my chest, it never leaves
the boys at work hardly talk to talk, I think Margaret’s asleep
I like standin’ out here, at least that’s clear
Blue-eyed baby, come here
Well the counter’s clean, ammonia sheen, your apron hangs above
ya head out of sight, the fluorescent light flickers off
I can’t see if you’re gone, in my reflection
Blue-eyed baby, I’m headin’ home
Blue-eyed baby, it seems I’m movin’ along
Blue-eyed baby, I take my time
Blue-eyed baby, I guess I’m doin' fine
