lyrics

April fifth, your last smell was the coffee in my breath.
I changed those sheets where you died, but never slept in that bed.
When the flashing lights brought you out in those bags made for the dead,
I tore your locket from your neck and the rosary from you father.

I didn't count beads, on account I was a sinner.
Baby, it wasn't my goal to cheat on you.
I'd wind at two A.M. smelling like Tanquery and perfume,
I threw too many punches that night you broke my jaw.
It was my fault.

Honey, it smells like rain.
Honey, it smells like rain...the day I was to blame.

Early days were sweeter when we curled by the fireside.
We'd smoke cigarettes and laugh out loud, we'd lose track of time.
Try out different coffee shops and watch street cats beg for dimes,
you gave that man a $50 instead...that made me melt inside.

Cause Honey, we were poor.
Honey, we were poor, but kindness was your reward.

You'd play that same record and watch Dallas at 3 A.M.
Those reruns and singers down the hall became the white noise in my head.
When I was with you, I hated them fucking things.
But now they connect me like Jesus Christ, I need those things to sleep.
Tonight.

Your favorite books became the coasters on my desk,
Kurt Vonnegut now has wine running down his neck.
I was so drunk, I remembered all the lies...
so I hanged myself to James Taylor's "You Can Close Your Eyes."
But it's alright. It's alright.

Cause Honey, it smells like rain.
Honey, smells like rain.
I was the blame.

Now I lay like a puppet, on my string I wrote the word "God."
Honey, I never emptied that ash tray inside cause that's still your job.
