Motel Evangeline by Malena Cadiz

Roadside Flowers in a plastic cup
The tide goes out and the sun comes up
In slivers through the blinds

The rain came down and the water rose
Swimming round in our birthday clothes
Out past the buoys, where no one goes
You shoulda been there
You shoulda been there

“Wandering stars” in the parking lot
All you lose is all you got
We got lots of time

The rain came down and the water rose
Swimming round in our birthday clothes
Out past the buoys, where no one goes
You shoulda been there
You shoulda been there

Motel Evangeline
Take me in
Patch again
My threadbare sleep

And all the quiet hours to keep
Rocked by the waves,
By the gulls,
By the deep blue sea
Oh the hours they got away from me
