Bernie Christie - Take a Seat Lyrics

She couldn't deal with the uninspired character smudge
Or the burden of being misunderstood and too judged
A bleak humidity, money-driven, saddened her heart
A sense of fading to beige, of falling apart

But past the fountain in the heart of the town
She heard a crack in the clouds and the rain came down
She saw a light lining the pavement where she found
A window wide open and a sound pulling her underground

Nobody knows her, they didn't know, how could they know?
Nothing seemed real anymore and where was she gonna go?
It doesn't have to be real anymore
Come on in, take a seat from the downpour
Come on in, take a seat, have a drink
If the way has let you down you need this time to think
Maybe this is rea,l maybe it's a dream
But come on in 'cause Layla's being played on the violin

You can watch the rain and drown in the sound
Of it splashing down the windowpane
While a musician fills this hole in the ground
By playing Layla on the violin

She sat back and smiled
She didn't talk for a little while
Just drank and listened to his style
So come on in take a seat, take a seat
Come on in take a seat
