John Wesley Harding - Driving In The Rain lyrics

Your rating:


With all your vice and volume the whole of last week

The plastic pretenders to paradise speak

Of your fictions of triumph and legends of pain

The sense that you'd left you'd be back once again

There's a glint in your eyes and the sky starts to laugh

It's two to one you never did things by half

And I'm out on the rooftops yelling your name

Cos without you this town will be too much the same



You went driving in the rain

I'll never see you again

There's nothing in the air left to compare

To all of your passion and genius pain

You went driving in the rain

I'll never see you again





There was talk of an illness that came by surprise

The papers did penance, the whole town took sides

Oh, but it was your dancing and mischeivous mind

And then we were shot of you, but no-one's that blind

And there's flowers have bloomed down the side of your street

Where you and your demons did openly meet

And I hope it's wide open where you've got to

There's closed minds in this town that couldn't accept you





(Chorus)





They're making excuses, the reasons the facts

They're reasoning how long you'll take to come back

But there's guilt in their prayers, maybe shame in their pride

They know it was no fault of yours down inside

They steps can't be retraced cos tracks disappear

And there'd be no welcome for you back here

Because you were the worst side of everyone's soul

They had to get rid or face up to the cold





(Chorus)
