Maraschino-Red Dress $8.99 at Goodwill - Ezra Furman

Those long afternoons

When nobody was home but me

Sun is shining but I dwell in shadow

Maraschino-red dress, $ 8.99 at Goodwill

I was looking over my shoulder

At the register trying not to be seen

Looking over my shoulder at all

I had appointments today, errands to run

I watch the hours drain away

I watch the hours drain away

Mid-grade bourbon sitting in the cabinet

This day’s shot anyway

And a couple of beers left from two nights ago

I am hideous and no one can ever know

When the sun gets low-down, bloody and red

I tie a little knot at the center of my head

I don’t think I’ll be showing up

At synagogue at quarter past seven

Sometimes you go through hell and you

Never get to heaven

Sometimes you go through hell and you

Never get to heaven

But I thank God

Who gives strength to the weary

I thank God

Who gives strength to the weary
