rainy tuesday blues
-------------------
(first of many versions.  edited - and better - versions to follow.)

would you like to go for a walk
in the grey, around the block
could i just have a little kiss
just to feel the water on our lips
   step - in the puddles, miles deep
   step - in the puddles, miles deep

she came in all soaked one night
and said, "well, tuesday's over," in the gloomy light
the fire was shining all over the room
while the cloudy sky hid the moon
   step - in the puddles, miles deep
   step - in the puddles, miles deep

   (and) i found a way
   to make her stay
   the rain is hard
   the skies are dark
   the puddles on the ground
   are all around
   all invisible after dark

rainy days are friendly days
i'm not alone when i see the haze
and finding ways to pass the time
i got a woman with likes just like mine
   step - in the puddles, miles deep
   step - in the puddles, miles deep

(but) no one seems to like the rain
it's just a tuesday and (it's) still a pain
but the sidewalks seem to be glazed with ice
and the water on her chin seems so nice
   step - in the puddles, miles deep
   step - in the puddles, she's miles deep
