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
