|
Flipped into the wind |
|
Like the ashes of her cigarette |
|
He got scattered thrown on the breeze |
|
As he tried to forget |
|
He lost all his heat |
|
And his heart never will be the same |
|
He got lighter than air |
|
But he'll only come down in the rain |
|
Strung out and hung out to dry |
|
Laughin' under the line |
|
It's not such a dignified place |
|
But he really don't mind |
|
He says with his feet on the ground |
|
He'd have nothin' to say |
|
Claims he likes it up there |
|
And he'll only come down in the rain |
|
Chorus: |
|
Comin' down in the rain |
|
Washin' outta the sky |
|
Loaded down with the pain |
|
There just ain't no way to fly |
|
You can read him as clear |
|
As the wall where he once wrote his name |
|
It was right next to hers |
|
But it'll only come down in the rain |
|
Burnin' himself out on a limb |
|
Like a leaf in the fall |
|
He blazed for awhile |
|
Now he's feelin' all dried up and small |
|
The colors all gone |
|
Disappeared, near as quick as it came |
|
He says he can't stay up |
|
But, he'll only come down in the rain |
|
(Repeat chorus) |
|
You can read him as clear as the wall |
|
Where he once wrote his name |
|
It was right next to hers |
|
But he'll only come down in the rain |
