New Star Song

I hung pictures of you from every lamp post in town
 As the humidity climbed into numbers I don't care to repeat
 The air was heavy and the sky was alive
 And the Pacific Starlight train wasn't due in till 11:45
 I thought about how cold you must be
 I thought about things I thought that I'd soon be forgetting
 I thought of you up in Canada, as the lightning storm has lit up
 All downtown Redding
 There were teenagers in mini-trucks coming around every corner
 You can taste the adrenaline, coming out through their skin
 I came to the well-lit doorway of a sheet music store
 Saw my face in the glass. sat down in the doorway and I settled in
 I thought about how cold you must be
 I thought about things I thought that I'd soon be forgetting
 I thought of you up in Canada, as the lightning storm has lit up
 All downtown Redding
