It Was Raining Songtext
von The Verlaines

Well hello there
Sordid inmates
You′ve got fences around your neck
And you took all the horns of a dora
Gazal boys
For it
And to follow old man sorrow
Is gonna make you watch it all again
Up on high in a pogo zone
And there's blistering heat from a molten stone
Whoa yeah, and he wants to go
Whoa yeah, he wants to go home
Whoa
But the memory is dead and the man lives on
In the greenest of grass and got enough to live on
Whoa yeah, and he only knows
Go the whole way or don′t go at all
Whoa
It's the middle of winter
And things are getting harder to live now


I scrape a hole in the ice and the snow and I look out
And I feel as well as could be dead
I light a cigarette
And she wants a guitar and she turns once more
And says "it's your way, it′s not mine, don′t forget"
And the snow falls on the traveler's head
He puts his weary wings to flight
He′s taken by countless accidents
There are no truths in here tonight
And what a scene in the morning light
The bridge is burning, standing on the wrong side
Whoa
And there's no home
And there′s no home
And there's no home
And there is no way he can go home
And those that hold the mallet
Twice a month and don′t ask for his voice
And ask a pound of flesh returned
And stab him when his back is turned
And they asked him what he came here for
He said there wasn't a single bridge out there at all
Whoa
It was raining
When you came in
Take it with you
When you leave
And you can take your rain
And your melancholia
With you
And save it
For the next one
When you're ready
I am
