A misty rain is falling through the neon light Fat Tuesday in new orleans on TV tonight They're mostly in the parts of town that look all right The camera never shows where the sadness goes I wish I had an anaconda's dna I'd slip out of my skin and in my note I'd say Thanks to all who made me what I am today Now I'm going home. I'm tired of being alone Will I ever hold you like the night in magnolia Waiting for the storm to pass This motel is no palace, but I'm out here to sing My fingertips are calloused from these guitar strings I don't need a calendar to know it's spring It's right on cue, how hard I'm missing you And here next to my bed, inside an open drawer Gideon is offering to show me more The things that fill my heart come through a thousand doors Love is most divine when it draws no line Will I ever hold you like the night in magnolia Waiting for the storm to pass Shawn pelton... drums Marty ballou... upright bass Duke levine... ac and el guitar Kenny white... piano Tom "bones" malone... euphonium Dee carstensen... harmony vocal
