lyrics

She moved in on Monday
by Tuesday night she was all alone
in that violent silence
when her friends had all gone home

I guess it's worse when the night comes
and the bottles have all been drained
the evening stretches on for hours
and then too late to bed again

And I guess that's how she found me
my guitar drifting through the night air
a knock on my front door
and I found her standing there

She said
"Sorry, you don't know me
but I think I know this song.
I know it's awkward but could I
come in and sing along?"
4 hours later
when we'd finished 2 bottles of wine
she left without telling me her name
and I never told her mine.

Some night months later
when a storm had knocked out the light
I sat strumming in the hot dark
with the windows open wide

she called up from the courtyard
"Hey guitar boy, could you use some lights?"
I said "I could use a singer
and I just opened a bottle of wine."

For years I saved a bottle
in case she appeared at my door
I finally drank it at a party
I can't remember now what for

I moved out on Monday
I cleaned it up and got my deposit check back
but I still heard her in the floorboards
in the place where she sat

When She said...
