Counting Crows - Rain King (Vh1 Storytellers Version) lyrics
When I think of heaven Deliver me in a black-winged bird I think of flying Down into a sea of pens and feathers And all other instruments of faith and s** and God In the belly of a black-winged bird Don't try to feed me 'cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more I belong in the service of the Queen I belong anywhere but in between She's been crying , and I've been thinking And I am the Rain King Well I said Mama, mama, , why am I so alone? I can't go outside Cause I'm scared I might not make it home I'm alive, Im alive But I'm sinking in If there's anyone at home at your place darlin' Please invite me in Don't try to bleed me Cause I've been there before and I deserve a little more I belong in the service of the Queen I belong anywhere but in between She's been lying I just keep sinking And I am the Rain King Hey, I only want the same as anyone Mr Henderson just keeps waiting for the sun Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends And ends and begins and ends After all the dreaming I just wanna come back home again... I Said well every little bit of sister says youre going sinking Down well under ground And every little thing she does to me Is beautiful And I said every little bit of fun and loneliness Well, every little thing that endlessly confuses me But I said when I think of heaven Mmm said when I think of heaven Mmmm When I think of heaven I think of you Do you think of heaven And I said when I think of heaven Deliver me in a black winged bird Oh, come on I think of dying Lay me down in a field of flame and heather Surrender up my body into the burning heart of God in the belly of a black-winged bird Don't try to bleed me 'Cause I've been here before And I deserve a little more I belong in the service of the Queen I belong anywhere but in between She's been dying And I've been drinking and I am the Rain King Well I said that I am the rain king... Oh I said, goodnight Elisabeth Im so sorry now But I am the rain king So why dont you come in out of the rain?
