lyrics

Rainbed

did you ever notice how the rain sounds
like an old lp when you put the needle down?
crackle and hiss of a day like this
it makes for a sweet kind of laziness
I could practically kiss the roof above my head
cause I’m dry
lying in my rainbed

city slickers’ll be slicker tonight
windshield rainshine blurring the streetlight
cars’ll slur by on my street
the asphalt will shine vinyl-black under my feet
I don’t complain the sound of the rain is so sweet
the wind throws some rain ‘gainst my window pane
like a friend calling me outside to play
he knows I love a windy day
he knows I got a little rhyme to say
it’s a rainsong spinning in my brain
here it is comes turnin’ round again it says
rain, rain, stay all day
keep the sky a steel-wool grey
I wanna stay inside and play
pick up my guitar and say hey
rain, rain, cool me down
let the steam roll off this town

like the roots of trees deep underground
I wake up when I hear the sound of
rain, rain, through the night
on into the cold grey light
if I had my love to hold me tight
I’d turn the light out and make things right as rain

but she ain’t here she’s nowhere near
and the things I whispered in her hair
wherever she is, she’s got them there
I still hear all my favourite things she said
when we were lying in our rainbed

did you ever notice how the rain sounds
like an old lp when you put the needle down?

crackle and hiss of a day like this
it makes for a sweet kind of laziness
I could practically kiss the roof above my head
‘cause I’m dry
and lying in my rainbed
I get all these rain thoughts in my head
every time I’m
lying in my rainbed
I think of all the graveyard dead
oh and I think of them
lying in their rainbed
or that river

creeping up the watershed
that river’s gonna
roll out of his rainbed
I sing the rain from A to Z
I sing the rain
lying in my rainbed
I’m lying in my rainbed
I’m lying in my rainbed
I’m lying in my rainbed
