When
The Rain Comes Down He
came up north from Gorin (?) Tryin’
to find a way to lose all his worry Working
as a carpenter To
make some money on the side He
had land down in Gorin (?) But
when his dad died he left him The
farm and all the worry He
didn’t want to stay But
he had too much family pride Now
when spring is dry He
wants to die Gonna
be another long year But
when the thunder cracks And
the wind blows back There’s
hope in his eyes When
the rain comes down Light
(?) brings life to Gorin (?) town When
the rain comes down Like
a baptism on the ground Little
John and Lonesome Pete Were
always fussin’ about the heat On
the street today I can hear the sounds Of
a brand new season Construction
drummers and drillers of the street Sally
moved uptown to get away from Lonesome Pete She
just left him a letter on the doorstep With
no reason Now
he just sits alone In
a world of his own Just
listenin’ to the wind blow With
the room cold and black He
just sits back And
stares out the window When
the rain comes down And
what’s lost will never be found When
the rain comes down Like
a baptism on the ground When
the rain comes… The
last time I saw her was a year ago in September On
that fateful night I can still remember She
left me standin’ on the corner in the drizzling rain Still
hear about her from time to time Still
dream about her from time to time But
how it stings when I wake To
find things are only the same I
just stare at the ceiling With
this empty feeling Remembering
when I was hers And
she was mine When
the storm rolls in It
reminds me of back then Now
I think about her every time When
the rain comes down And
it falls so hard on me now When
the rain comes down Like
a baptism…oh yeah…oh yeah When
the rain comes down And
what’s lost will never be found When
the rain comes down Like
a baptism on the ground When
the rain comes down When
the rain comes down When
the rain comes down When
the rain comes down Wash
me down, now Wash
me down When
the rain comes down When
the rain comes down |
