ode to all those off night barmaids (yep i am sexist in this)
Lyrics
came in from the cold
sat down to her smile
a shot of maple whiskey
and then a coffee country styled
watched a little tv
a game and videos
tried hard not to watch her
made sure it didn't show
eventually took the coat off
warming to the place
she was cleaning for the closing
and did it with such grace
had to go back to standing
cause it was time enough
tried hard not to watch her
when all i wanted was her touch
laughing at america
those clips that they send in
another coffee country styled
to relieve the stress again
listening to the finals
of those chosen to be back
tried hard not to watch her
but i loved to see her laugh
put on the coat and mittens
buttoned up the hood
in the key of winter
walked thru the neighbourhood
stars, like her eyes, were twinkling
to clouds of laughter lines
tried hard not to watch her
only wish that she was mine
in the key of winter
wonder if she reads minds
in the key of winter
in the key of winter
only wish she'd read mine
