Let It Rain

Leaving on a mayday

A fine summer pain

In his heart

On his tongue

The taste is sweet again

Leaving on a mayday

A fine summer pain

But his head's a feather

His mind can take off

His feet are moving again

Let it rain on me

Let it rain

Morning comes, wakes him up

He looks out at the parking lot,

Sees the house, he was born

Almost fifty seven years ago

Where his brother lives

Where his sister moved and

All three went to and finished school

Where their father died in fifty nine

Their mother did in sixty three

He's reminded of her when he looks at me

Let it rain on me

Let it rain

That's how all things grow

I've been waiting for the news he said

For twenty years I've been waiting

For the last pages in a book I read

About love, death, and endless need

About you, your sister, your mother and me

Even the happiest families bleed

I want to get even, making it last

Get every bastard from the past

Let it rain on me

Let it rain
