I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn’t seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool, cool rain
I can’t sleep, and I lay, and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool, cool rain
[Hmm someone follows up a Stones song by pasting in one about rainbows, but it isn’t She’s a Rainbow? :D]
I’m walking in the rain to end this misery
I’m walking in the rain to celebrate this misery
Pounding the road, coast to coast
I can’t sleep at night; how I wish you’d hold me tight
I go out walkin’ after midnight
Out in the starlight, just hoping you may be
Somewhere a-walkin’ after midnight
Searchin’ for me.
There’s a strange new light in my eyes
Things I’ve never known
Changin’ my life, changin’ me
I’ve been searchin’ so long to find an answer
Now I know my life has meaning
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
(Turn and face the strange)
Ch-ch-Changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
It’s kind of a special feeling
When you’re out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover
Time for a cool change
I recall the tune that I sang to the moon and it seemed to make it smile
And I rode away at the close of the day and I stayed so long a while
But I long to be where the memory is ringing
One more ride, one more ride
Once upon a night we’ll wake to the carnival of life
The beauty of this ride ahead such an incredible high
It’s hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead
This moment the dawn of humanity
The last ride of the day
We’re riding on the escalator of life
We’re shopping in the human mall
We’re dancing on the escalator of life
Won’t be happy 'til we have it all
We want it all - escalator of life (up and down)
Escalator of life (round and round)
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We’ll search the clouds for a star to guide us on
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We’ll find a cloud to hide us, keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you love me let me know
If you don’t then let me go
I can’t take another minute
Of a day without you in it
I’m dreaming
You’re awake
If I were sleeping
What’s at stake
A day without me
Wake up!
You can’t remember where it was
Had this dream stopped?
The snake was pale gold glazed and shrunken
We were afraid to touch it
The sheets were hot dead prisons
Once I got locked up in a dirty old jail.
And the coffee was cold and the cornbread was stale.
And I didn’t cry, I tried to be brace
Till the warden tried to give me a haircut and a shave.
Then I awake and look around me,
At the four gray walls that surround me,
And I realize that I was only dreaming.
For there’s a guard, and there’s a sad old padre,
Arm in arm, we’ll walk at daybreak.
Again, I’ll touch the green, green grass of home.
Day by day, day by day
Oh, dear Lord, three things I pray.
To see thee more clearly.
Love thee more dearly.
Follow thee more nearly
Day by day by day by day by day.
I was on the inside when they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window-I was lost, I am found
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will follow
Just walk away, Renee
You won’t see me follow you back home
Now, as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me, it cries
Your name and mine inside a heart upon a wall
Still finds a way to haunt me though they’re so small
We have lost the time
That was so hard to find
And I will lose my mind
If you won’t see me (You won’t see me)
