about

The laundromat is the first place that reminds you the old life is gone.

lyrics

Standing on the street just to see if someone
Cares enough to say to me
Get out of the way

Some will ask you to move,
others they’ll run you through
If you think you’re better of alone
Then hang up the phone when it rings

But don’t you entertain the idea
Of drinking coffee in the rain
Don’t you entertain the idea
Of whisky to ease the pain

Smoking to remember someone’s name
Is like smelling a flower without a scent
Never knew what you meant,
Now I’m feeling lost and circumspect

It was over the day we met
Like a sunset at the beach I could deliver half a speech
But my words are in retreat

Don’t you think we’re better off
Drinking coffee in the rain
Don’t you think we’re better off
With whisky to ease the pain

Over your shoulder they’ll be someone else to meet
This city’s to full of strangers and drifters
Get hard sifting out those friends
From those who blow in like the wind

And the season ends and you’re coughing up change at the Laundromat
Speaking to those you’ve never met
Some how people find each other
In this jungle of a place, I remember your face

I’d recognize it anywhere
With some coffee in the rain
Recognise it anywhere
With whisky to each the pain

Drinking coffee in the rain
It’s full moon again
Drinking coffee in the rain
