The Volunteer

from A Spoonful of Voices by Alien Skin

/

lyrics

she watches the rain from inside
and curses the rain from inside
she works as a volunteer at the shelter
for people who hide from weather
i don't think it's strange
i don't think it's strange
it's just their way
she drinks from her constant teacup
and talks to her constant teacup
only sometimes someone else gets a word in
as she's consulting with her tea leaves
i don't think it's strange
i don't think it's strange
it's just her way
sometimes she doesn't come down for days
struggling with going from phase to phase
sometimes she doesn't come down for days
you don't need to make excuses
it's just her way
she waits for her bus to come by
her plain white bus to come by
she smiles at the driver who as a kind smile
he's a volunteer with a kind smile
and nothing is strange
nothing is strange
it's just their way
she listens to the 'blurred crusade' again
she listens to the 'blurred crusade' again
again, again
sometimes she doesn't come down for days
struggling with going from phase to phase
sometimes she doesn't come down for days
you don't need to make excuses
you don't need to make excuses
it's just her way, just her way
