When It’s Rained
I’m trying to remain sane
In a world some swear is plain
But day by day I change
And I swear the night smells sweeter
When it’s rained
I’m holding out
About things you thought I’d shout
Instead you see me sing them
And honey does it ever bring your dreams
Some doubt
I stood in a line to find
If these phonographic times
Would bring me painted pictures
Or just leave me as a fixture
In your mind
When I blush now
The talkers in this town they turn about
Ears hearing for a whisper
All but to temper
My mouth
So take these long days alone
You’ll always be around
And I walk these hallways halfway in my mind
And in your gown
So take these long days alone
You’ll always be around
Bring another pitcher
Fill it with a mixture cold and brown
I’m trying to remain sane
In a world some left bare and stained
From me to my lover
Or a girl to her mother
Or a man even to a brother
Well, I swear I’ll always love her
And that the night smells sweeter
When it’s rained
