about

was real happy about this one.

lyrics

if i could just sober up
long enough to save a buck
i would spend it on dinner for three
me, myself, and linda lee

i'd wash and dry my sunday best
wear it on wednesday after i rest
from my busy day of living with me
waiting for linda lee

chorus:

cuz there's a puddle that catches the rain underneath
a flickering sign that still shines in between
someone and somewhere, nowhere and nobody

and though i never have spoken to the one that i love
we still kiss in a dream and, for me, that's enough
cuz awake i'm alone, but asleep i'm with linda lee

well keeping warm is quite a chore
when the window's broke and the blankets are worn
but that's alright cuz i still see
my framed photo of linda lee

and the music plays from far away
in a bar downtown where i spend my days
with the red lights flickering for all to see
everyone but linda lee

chorus

well some folks smile and some regret
children dream what their parents forget
but no part of reality
compares to my photo of linda lee

and someday i hope to give her a call
cuz hoping's much better than alcohol
but i won't trade whiskey for cookies and tea
or photographs for linda lee

chorus
