Raindrops - Pearls Before Swine

The theatre is letting out

From the roof the raindrops fall

Like a river they should flow

But what does a raindrop know?

Admission is a penny now

The theatre is burning down

All the faces in a crowd

Like the raindrops in a cloud

Like the river they should flow

But what does a raindrop know?

In the backroom, fires rage

All the masks lost in a haze

How can we put on our play?

But what does a raindrop know?

Raindrops kill, raindrops die

They’ve lost their freedom from the sky

They kill for things they must not show

Die in rivers they will never know

Is it more important to come into or go?

But what does a raindrop know?

What does a raindrop know?
