Jackie Leven Rainy Day Bergen Women Lyrics

(Rain/Coughing/Harmonica)
Wish  I had one of those little Bergen girls
All  I want is one of them little Bergen girls
Wish I had one of those little Bergen girls

To love me and touch my face
Be  waiting for me- keep me in my place
To  sing in the kitchen when I'm feeling low
Kiss me goodbye when I got to go

Rainy  day Bergen women are the best
I've travelled the world - forget the rest
Rainy day Bergen women are the best
I've travelled the world - forget the rest

I'm  walking alone in Bergen
Down by the cold fish tanks
Where the fish swim round and round
Waiting to die
Their eyes are so soulful
I can't even look
One fish tries to make a great escape
The other know it's far too late

I sit in my hotel room
Change my guitar strings
With the tv on
Try not to think about things
I got a certain freedom
And a bucket of grief
And my father in heaven
That is my belief
Everything changes
When your daddy dies
You see new colours
In stranger's eyes
I call my mother but what can I say?
We talk of the weather and the empty days
Always return to a moment of praise
And an image of loving we could never erase An image of loving we could never erase

Wish I had one of those little Bergen girls
All I want is one of them little Bergen girls
Wish I had one of those little Bergen girls

(Spoken Word in Altered Voice)
"Bring me my cage of sorrows
Bring me my word
That I may smite down mine enemies
Bring me the snow on the mountain
That I remember as a little hill
Bring me the country church
Where my true love and I lay down
In darkness

In darkness
Bring me the papers that blow down the street
Those commercial words
Blowing down to the deep rolling sea
How I love that trash
Oh- how I love that trash
Bring me the paperweight
Complete with the effect of snow
Falling on the poorly made tiger
In the window of shop
That has nowhere to go

And I have no place to take thee
I have no place to take thee"

(Singing in Altered Voice)
The bridge is too twisted- I'l fall off the side
And all the wee fishes swim up my backside
The bridge is too twisted- I'l fall off the side
And all the wee fishes swim up my backside

(Thunder/Rain/Car sounds/Coughing)
