Standard (EADGBE)

In my dreams you dont have plans for Mardi Gras

Ill pick you up on my way through Arkansas

Man you wont believe who I met in Memphis

Its been a long time since youve seen her

 I think you might need a hint

She could turn every head when she entered the room

A woman so happy to make you look a fool

But so sad that she painted her mailbox blue

She took me to her apartment below the street

Im sure I looked nervous as she poured me a drink

And Eric, she hardly said a word to me

She just asked if Id stay and help her decorate the tree

So I walked out on that tight rope slow as a snail

At one point I slipped and almost all her ornaments fell

But I managed to hang the clay nightingale.
