Nanci Griffith - Comin' Down In The Rain lyrics

Your rating:

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, laughing 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 nothing to gain
Claims he likes it up there and he'll only come down in the rain

Comin' down in the rain
Washing out of the sky
Loaded down with the pain
There just ain't no way to fly
And 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

Burning himself out on a limb like a leaf in the fall
He blazed for awhile, now he's feeling 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

Comin' down in the rain
Washing out of the sky
Loaded down with the pain
There just ain't no way to fly
And 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

And 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
