[Intro] [Verse 1] Table Seven, the bourbon’s gone dry You’re watching the spotlight instead of my eye I sang for the room, but I whispered for you In a haze of the gold and the velvet and blue You’re a regular ghost in a front-row seat But the man that I know is out on the street. [Verse 2] We walked past the docks where the Bayou is still Sharing our dreams on the crest of the hill You told me your secrets, I gave you my hand But here in the hall, you’re just a fan in the stand It’s a beautiful dance, this untouchable thing But I’m more than the melody I’m hired to sing. [Chorus] I’m not your Superwoman, I’m just a girl in the rain Waiting for a heartbeat to quiet the pain You love the performer, you love the perfume But I’m lonely for you in this crowded room Yeah, I’m just a woman... I don't know why You’d rather have the song than the soul underneath the sky. [Bridge] (Piano solo – melodic and simple) We shared a Vieux Carré, we shared a light We shared the quietest parts of the night So why do you pull back when the curtains go up? Leaving me thirsty with a silver cup? [Outro] The piano is fading. The house lights are up. Will you stay at Table Seven? Or will you walk me home... Just... me.
