I hear the freight trains go by a like a clipper ship sinking I close my eyes; write my name on the windowpane thinking Oh, my heart I'm going down with what's left of the mast I fear for my life like a bird before gla** Raindrops and roses Raindrops and roses I see the sun way up high like a mama bird weeping I fear she'll come down and carry me off while I'm sleeping Oh, my head I'd cry like a newborn that's pulled from the breast I pray the world never lights up my nest
Raindrops and roses Raindrops and roses I feel the eyes of the world like a tidal wave breaking I wrap my arms around the copper ball weathervane shaking Oh, my soul I'd swim like piper with bellows for breath And bury that spire in the belly of d**h Raindrops and roses Raindrops and roses Lay me down slowly and clip off my wings I'm gonna bring all my favorite things I'm gonna bring all my favorite things
