Rain Down on Me - Blue Rodeo

Well you never need forgiveness

left home at seventeen

raised up on hate

to a life that’s second rate…

I’ve seen that look before

behind some closing door

You couldn’t be delivered

just won’t be denied

too much a child

Confident and wild…

nobody taught you how to live

what to keep and what to give

Oh now she talks to strangers

who bring her flowers for her hair

but every night you count on me

to get you out the door

Oh then you smile and watch me lose control

Rain on me

oh rain down on me

oh rain down on me

I used to think I knew

what I was waiting for

I don’t think that anymore

Didn’t know what to bring you

don’t seem to need too much at all

no pearls and chains

and nobody’s sad refrains

Everytime I wonder why

think back to the kindness in your eyes

Now everybody wants you

bring you flowers for your hair

but every night you count on me

to peel you off the wall

Oh then you smile and watch me lose control

Rain on me

oh rain down on me

oh rain down on me

I used to think I knew

what I was fighting for

Oh I don’t think that anymore
