Sing With Me

[Verse 1]
You might have been able to sing with the voice of Cecilia
But then you started into words about steel and trucks and things
I thought I'd never see someone play E7 in a shuffle chord and never blink
But you never give away what you really think

[Verse 2]
No one could ever drown you out
But it couldn't hurt to ask someone to turn it down
So we could hear what you were saying
I nearly froze in my shoes
When you turned around and said
Play a melody, play it clear and true
And sing with me the way that Tom Waits used to

[Verse 3]
I can't forget the way I thought that Soda Springs had finally hit the big time
When I saw you on stage from the back of the waiting line
You never would return, so I took your job and you went away to Nashville living on "Tahra Time"
You'll be back when the weather's fine
When the weather's fine
