Last-Lit Kiosk, Newspaper Rain
by Cassio Lune
“I sat in the rain by a kiosk and wrote this on the back of a receipt. The newspaper drums are me tapping a magazine.”

Lyrics
Every shutter on the street is down Except one little kiosk in the rain A yellow bulb, a hand-lettered sign Gum and maps and warm refrain Last light on, come on over Rain on the roof, nowhere to be Last light on, stay a minute The kiosk keeps the night for me He sells a stamp and a paper cup Of something steaming by the till Says the rain will leave by morning And the street will settle still Last light on, come on over Rain on the roof, nowhere to be Last light on, stay a minute The kiosk keeps the night for me Somebody always stays up late So the rest of us can find a door A little glow on a wet sidewalk Is all a tired heart asks for Last light on, come on over Rain on the roof, nowhere to be Last light on, stay a minute The kiosk keeps the night for me Last light on Stay a minute
