C#m G# A B
she came in on the red – eye to dallas – fort worth .
E G# A B
all the way from sunny taipei .
C#m G# A B
skin the color of a walnut shell ,
E G# A B
and a baseball cap holding down her black hair .
A B
and she came here after midnight .
E A
the hot weather made her feel right at home .
E A
come on in , we haven’t slept for weeks .
E A B
drink some of this , it’ll put color in your cheeks .
C#m G# A B
he drove in from mexicali no worse for wear .
E G# A B
money to burn , time to kill , but
C#m G# A B
five minutes looking in his eyes and
E G# A B A
we all knew he was broken pretty bad , so we gave him what we had .
B
we cleared a space for him to sleep in ,
E
and we let the silence that’s our trademark
A
make its presence felt .
E A
come on in , we haven’t slept for weeks .
E A B
drink some of this , it’ll put color in your cheeks .
C# G# A B
E B
C#m G# A B E
they came in by the dozens , walking or crawling .
G# A
some were bright – eyed ,
B
some were dead on their feet .
E G# A B E
and they came from zimbabwe , or from soviet georgia ,
G# A B A
east saint louis , or from paris , or they lived across the street .
B
but they came , and when they’d finally made it here ,
E A
it was the least that we could do to make our welcome clear .
E A
come on in , we haven’t slept for weeks .
E A B
drink some of this , this’ll put color in your cheeks .
