Lynn Ahrens - Raining lyrics

ADRIAN: Watch him turn his collar up against the wet Stops a pa**erby and borrows a cigarette Ducks inside a doorway, and I see him strike a light Pulls me back to everything I've ever known Papa's sudden rages, mama turned to stone Praying for Saint Anthony to come and make things right You don't look up and you don't talk back and your odds are ten to none Like a weed that grows from a pavement crack to the patch of sun You hide yourself in a tiny space as the voice rise And you go some place where no one ever cries Well if it keeps on raining I think I might float away Yes if it keeps on raining, I may The sky is overflowing, the rivers more like a bay Yes, if it keeps on raining I might float away One day Finishes his cigarette and throws it down Gives a little wave and then he heads down town Fading in the darkness, till he's finally gone from sight But I don't look up and I don't wave back cause the odds are ten to none That a weed stays put in the pavement crack And it never finds the sun I fit myself in my tiny space as the waters rise And I wonder if he'll be back again With his broken face And his hard luck life And his sad brown eyes And if it keeps on raining I think I might float away Yes, if it keeps on raining, I may The sky is overflowing, and I am filled to the brim Yes, if it keeps on raining I might float away... To him
