But, before I go, gotta post this for giggles. A very eclectic, humorous and talented singer opened up for Mary Chapin Carpenter: Susan Werner. She was great.
She sang a funny, poignant song about being single: Time Between Trains. The long "time between trains" being a euphemism for, well...
TIME BETWEEN TRAINS
I'm waitin' at the station I can choose my destination I'm a free soul, I got no chains But it's a long time between trains
I took a long nap, I read a whole book I got nice legs, I got decent looks And I'm not one who complains But it's a long time between trains
And who'd have thought it all those years That I would find myself back here Feelin' restless and ignored Starin' at the schedule board Wonderin' why the fates above Always route love through Miami
And somewhere lovers smile their smiles While I count the ceiling tiles And well give or take a few There's one thousand fifty-two But that depends if you include The eighty-eight out in the hall
Yes I'm waitin' at the station With my old friend sublimation You know the Wright boys designed planes
Must have been a long time, yeah Must have been a long time Must have been a long time between trains
