lyrics

I’ve got a lump in my throat
Poking at it for a thrill
I’m controlling the notes
Choking on a ream of scarves
Trying to stand still

Only so many pins I can juggle
So many tales I can spin
Atop the big top on the tightrope, I struggle
Fell into a puddle
Send in the clouds roll on in

Well, you’ve watched me try to balance
A million things on ten tiny plates
Everything is tipped over
The tent is ripped off the stakes
My wig’s gone with the wind
The rain washed the paint off my face

I’ve been so bent on your smile
To turn and see the storm
I’ve mixed joy with pain
But what joy is fame
Whether bashful or brave
You didn’t love me just the same
The least funny thing
Is realizing
Someone doesn't love you on a rainy day

Don’t worry my brother is picking me up
If you call, I won’t call back
You’ll be busy with your own shows
I’ll be busy with who knows I will try to
Put in this act

It’s a downpour and I’ve got water balloons
They don’t have the same effect they once did
And the rest of my bag of tricks
To find a love that sticks
Has a hole in the bottom
And doesn’t even zip

I’ve been so bent on your smile
To turn and see a storm
I’ve mixed joy with pain
But what joy is fame
Whether bashful or brave
Would this have ended just the same
The funniest least thing is realizing
Realizing it won’t matter to me one day

It’s not funny when I’m standing
In these big shiny shoes
When I get out of here
I’m getting out of them
And out of love with you

No one loves you on a rainy day

about

Elizabeth Moen Chicago, Illinois

(American Songwriter)“ There is a phrase circulating and growing in normalcy, to ‘live your truth.’ Few are doing it more so than Elizabeth Moen”.

Blending fierce, massive vocals and raw bluesy guitar with introspective lyrics and electronic textures, Elizabeth Moen "showcases both strength and vulnerability, reminding us that these traits often go hand in hand" (NPR Music).
