There’s a latte breeze this morning
That cushions me here in my bed
The sun slowly climbs my window
But the rain outside drowns my head
And there’s a couple in the hallway
Who are talking breakfast TV
It’s about as deep as the weatherman
But at least he knows when it’s raining
The neighbours play Bruce Springsteen
And sing along to ‘Brothers on the bridge’
But I’m staying here a little longer
Because hell, I like to think I earned it
Now the car alarms are ringing out
That’s the second time this week
So the neighbours turn Bruce up louder
And the couple in the hall start shouting!
I close my eyes- I’m not here
Venice, Prague, Paris, maybe Rome
But London keeps on calling me back
Where the rain won’t leave me alone!

Love this. It makes me wish I lived in a more compact community. Midwestern America is too spread out (for my taste anyway). I called in sick to work today, just because. Before I could crawl back in bed, I had to get my son ready and take him to school. But it reminds me of the feeling I had drifting back to sleep once I got home : )

Nothing better than to hear the rain pounding outside the window when you're tucked up in bed... agreed though not on a work day when you have to walk out in it, but at least you didn't have DUFFY waking you up....... Damn I hate her!
