(Buddy Mondlock)
|
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
|
Laughin' 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 nothin' to say
|
Claims he likes it up there
|
And he'll only come down in the rain
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Comin' down in the rain
|
Washin' outta the sky
|
Loaded down with the pain
|
There just ain't no way to fly
|
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
|
|
Burnin' himself out on a limb
|
Like a leaf in the fall
|
He blazed for awhile
|
Now he's feelin' 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|

Comin' Down In The Rain
