So much for unexpected weather
It's been overcast forever
Since I fell from my sweetheart's clutches
To a springtime spent on crutches

Coffee cups, promises, sure
But I've never broken bones before

So many staring at the wall days
I've been housebound ever and always
I can't believe the time it's taking
This evening I'm escaping

When the streetlights shine
And the footpath glistens
There are friends of mine
Within walking distance
When the streetlights shine
And it looks like Christmas
There are friends of mine
Within walking distance

Coffee cups, promises, sure
But I've never broken bones before
