RAIN-O
summer rain and drips from a deck table...
reminds me of the song by Chilliwack long ago
Rain-o, rain-o
fall apon the earth again
and make it good.
make it cool and fill the river,
fill the pool, quench the thirst
of every fool and every sage
and ever sour soul
who's lost so much
he doesn't know his need.
mmmm in vain, in vain
i tell you we're all the same
cause there you stand
a-sayin' man it's not for real
and we're the ones
who get to steal the show
and i don't know
i guess you're right
but even so
if there's no audience,
there just ain't no show.
rain-o, rain
won't you fall on me again
aaaah because a moldy mold
had settled on my brain.
and in vain, in vain
i tell you we're all the same
cause there you stand
a-sayin' man it's not for real
and we're the ones
who get to steal the show
and i don't know
i guess you're right
but even so
if there's no audience,
there just ain't no show.
i said,
in vain, in vain
i tell you we're all the same
cause there you stand
a-sayin' man it's not for real
and we're the ones
who get to steal the show
and i don't know
i guess you're right
but even so
if there's no audience,
there, theres-a just ain't no show.
rain-o, rain
won't you fall, won't you fall on me again
mmm yeah, because a moldy mold
had settled, settled on my brain.
and in vain, in vain
i tell you we're all the same
cause there you stand
a-sayin' man it's not for real
and we're the ones
who get to steal the show
and i don't know
i guess you're right
but even so
if there's no audience,
there just ain't no show.
