Blue Rodeo - Rain Down On Me lyrics

rate me

You never need forgiveness<br />

Left home at seventeen<br />

Confident and wild<br />

So much a child<br />

Nobody taught you how to live<br />

What to keep and what to give<br />

You couldn't be delivered<br />

<br />

Raised on hate<br />

You would not be denied<br />

To a life that's second rate<br />

Behind some closing door<br />

I've seen that look before<br />

Who bring her flowers for her hair<br />

<br />

Now she talks to strangers<br />

But every night you call on me<br />

Then you smile<br />

To get you out the door<br />

And watch me lose control<br />

<br />

You rain on me<br />

I used to think I knew<br />

Rain down on me<br />

Rain down on me<br />

What I was waiting for<br />

I don't think that anymore<br />

<br />

You didn't seem to need too much at all<br />

I never knew what to bring you<br />

No pearls or chains<br />

And nobody's sad refrains<br />

I think back to the kindness in your eyes<br />

Every time I wonder why<br />

<br />

Now everybody wants you<br />

But every night you call on me<br />

Then you smile<br />

Bring you flowers for your hair<br />

To peel you off the wall<br />

<br />

And I just lose control<br />

You rain on me<br />

Rain down on me<br />

I used to think I knew<br />

Rain down on me<br />

What I was fighting for<br />

I don't think that anymore
