Who Drove The Red Sports Car?
Who drove the red sports car from the mansion
And laid upon the grass in summer time
And who done me out high time fashion
And made me read between the lines
And who said follow the man its your only chance
Sit on your throne, you got to make it on your own, on your own
And who said
Look at you, look at you
You got jam on your face and
Who did your homework and read your bible,
And signed your name everyplace and
Who said fortunes untold dont go by gold,
Youre much better known
You got to make it on your own, on your own.
And do you remember, do you remember
I said a long time ago when I came walkin down
I came walkin down
Maggies place
It started comin on rain,
It started comin on rain,
cause I had nothin on but a shirt
And a pair of pants
And I was gettin wet,
And I was gettin wet,
Saturated, saturated
And maggie opened up the window
And jane swung out her right arm,
She said, hi! I said, hi! ya.
Howre your doin baby.
She said, come on in out of the rain
Come on in out of the rain, lord,
Come on in out of the rain.
Sit down by the fireside
Dry yourself,
Do, do it,
I got caught,
I got caught,
In a bag.

Rain Rain Rain
Rain, Rain, Rain, come again and again,
In the winter, in the summer and in spring,
Come with joy, fall with happiness and go with sorrow,
Rain, Rain, Rain come again and again.
Rain, Rain, Rain come to relive earth's pain,
Rain, Rain, Rain come to make nature happy,
Rain, Rain, Rain come to make livings happy,
Rain, Rain, Rain come again and again.
Rain, Rain, Rain don't go away,
Rain, Rain, Rain i hope you will stay,
Rain, Rain, Rain come again and again.

Rain,rain
Why am I here if youre there
So far away its not fair
To be without you like this
I miss you more than you know
The nights are long
The days slow
Without the warmth of your kiss
Wish you were back here with me
Cause out my window
All is see is
Rain , rain in the sky
Everywhere I look my eyes see
Rain , rain fallin down
Crying as it hits the ground
Rain , rain in my heart
Every day that were apart
Rain , rain
Falling rain , rain
Rain , rain
Only rain , rain
The sun is strong when youre near
But when youre gone it disappears
Behind an ocean of blue
The telephones not good enough
It cant reach out it cant touch
Me like the way you do
Wish you would knock at my door
Cause only you can stop the pouring
Rain , rain in the sky
Everywhere I look my eyes see
Rain , rain fallin down
Crying as it hits the ground
Rain , rain in my heart
Every day that were apart
Rain , rain
Falling rain , rain
Rain , rain
Only rain , rain
Maybe ill go outside
And walk beneath the clouds
Pretend its you thats watching over me
This isnt the only thing that comes
Between us now
Baby soon well be together
Oooo
( everywhere I look I see rain )
( everywhere I look I see rain )
Rain
( everywhere I look I see rain )
Everywhere I look I see rain
( everywhere I look I see rain )
Rain
( everywhere I look I see rain )
Rain
( rain , rain in the sky )
( everywhere I look my eyes see rain )
Rain
( rain falling down )
Down
( crying as it hits the ground )
Dont , dont let it hit the ground
( rain , rain in my heart everyday that were apart )
( rain , rain )
Rain
( falling rain, rain )
Rain
( rain, rain )
Everywhere I look I see rain
Everywhere I look I see rain
But I dont see you
Youre not near me
I need you ooo
Rain
Itll never be the same
If you dont stop the rain

Rain Keeps Fallin
I remember the night so well.
The rain was fallin but I just couldnt tell,
If it was you that was callin to my love-sick brain.
But the rain kept fallin on my window pane.
Out of the night the thunder rang in my ear.
I cant fight the feelin, lord, that brings forth my fears.
I wish it was over, lord, please stop the rain.
The rain thats fallin on my window pane.
The rain thats fallin on my window pane.
Every night the rains on time, I can feel it in this heart of mine.
But I dont know what to do.
Well, I guess I could go back home, cause you know back home is where I belong.
But it just aint home without you.
And I dont know what to do, baby.
Well, I guess Im a looser but it just dont seem fair.
I lost all my life so tell me, why should I care?
The night that you left me is the night that it came.
And the rains still fallin on my window pane.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
You know the rain.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
I said the rain.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
You know the rain.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
I said the rain.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
You know the rain ...
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
... keeps right on fallin.
The rain keeps fallin on my window pane.
I said, the rain keeps fallin ...

February Rain
To be the mud, the bog, the mire;
To soak the bones in February –
Eons from the autumn shower–
Even from a summer berry!
Sparrows chirp a desperate call,
Darting questions at the cows –
Oblivious to the dousing squall, they
Churn the sludge with pastern ploughs.
The crying air was lost in rhythm:
Drums incessant in the drops;
Not a chance for rainbow prism –
Even if the hammering stops!
Metallic chills entrap machines –
Tractors hushed within the shed.
Inside the house, a full cuisine
To bless with mead – and little said!
But out across the tiring field,
A sodden fox is hunting down
His prey of sorts – but nil of yield;
Perhaps he’ll starve; perhaps he’ll drown.
Still the clouds are hammering,
Hammering home their dreary aim –
A chatterbox in constant yammering,
Drenching all to make a claim.

I Wish It Would Rain
(randy travis/ ron avis)
Its the last thing I needed
On a star-filled night
The one who broke my heart
Comin into sight
Walkin hand-in-hand with the one who holds her now
I feel the hurt returning and if only somehow
I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain
Oh, lord
So she wont see
What shes doing to me
Come on, now, sky
Be a friend to these eyes
And I know that i
Cant hold back the pain
I wish it would rain
Its been too long now
To hurt me so bad
But the love that we shared
Was the best that Ive had
And my tear drops will fall when they go walkin by
Theres no place to turn
And no place to hide
I wish it would rain
I wish it would rain
Oh, lord
So she wont see
What shes doing to me
Come on, now, sky
Be a friend to these eyes
And I know that i
Cant hold back the pain
I wish it would rain
I know that i
Cant hold back the pain
I wish it would rain

And you don't come up much in my conversation

It doesn't even cross my dreamlike mind
I don't think I see your face through the curtains
Hell, I don't even miss you half the time

Inside a cloud of grey
Rain, rain, rain...

I remember you, I remember you
Well, That's when I remember you
The only time I remember
When I remember you

Rain oh Rain
When will thy come to wash my pain?
Rain oh Rain
I have been in tears all day
Rain oh Rain
Please do not go far away
Rain oh Rain
Release thy fresh water upon me
Rain oh Rain
Melt the ice and make me chill
Rain oh Rain
Wet the earth and make it plant bloom
Rain oh Rain
Let thy freshness embrace the earth
Rain oh Rain
Make me happy and filled with joy
Rain oh Rain
For thy presence i wait.

Summer Rain
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him saying
Nothing will change
Come dancing with me baby
In the summer rain
I remember the rain on our skin
And his kisses hotter than the
Santa ana winds
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I remember laughing til we almost cried
(there at station that night)
I remember looking in his eyes
Oh my love, its you and that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart Im always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
Doesnt matter what I do now
Doesnt matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart Im always
Dancing with you in the summer rain
I can hear the whistle
Military train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can here him singing
Ooh love is strange
Come dance with me baby
In the summer rain
I remember the rain pouring down
And we poured our hearts out
As the train pulled out
I can see my baby
Waving from the train
It was last time that I saw him
In the summer rain
Every time I see the lightening
Every time I hear the thunder
Every time I close the window
When this happens in the summer
Oh the night is so inviting
I can feel that you are so close
I can feel you when the wind blows
Blows right through my heart
Every night and every day now
Though I know youve gone away
Somewhere in my heart Im always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Rain CAN
rain cant tell a lie,
rain can be louder then a fly,
rain cant make shoes
rain can hit the roof
rain cant be nice (person wise)
rain can make ice
rain cant bleed
rain can grow a seed
rain cant draw a toon
rain can make a tune
rain cant be a loon
rain can make a monsoon
so rain can and cant do alot of things.
here comes the rain!
oh look! it's spring!

Purple Rain
(prince)
I never meant to cause you any trouble
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only ever wanted to see you laughing
Only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Only want to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey, I never wanted to be your wicked lover
Only wanted to be some kind of friend
I could never leave you for another
Its such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing
This time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
You say youre looking for a leader,
But you cant seem to make up your mind
But you better open it up wide, let it guide you
To the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Only want to see you, baby, in the purple rain

Down n Dirty
Slow talkin, the line youre walkin
Look like a viper wearin silkin stockings
You make em guess theyd be gettin the best
Cant help but wonder if youd pass the test
Kissin my fingers, you touch my face
n play your hand like youre holdin the ace
But baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay it down
You make it harder and harder to stop what youve started
Chorus:
(down n dirty)
Oh my little rosalee, dont you think its goin on time we see
If youre gonna come with me, I bet you, I get you
Ive had enough of this comin on stuff
I feel like gettin down on somethin tough
I do believe youre what youre tryin to be
Now show me, honey, cause Im dying to see
Take it baby, make your play, well make love in different ways
I call your bluff and stand, pretty mama, hold me in your hand
And make it harder and harder to stop what youve started
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Kissin my fingers, you touch my face
n play your hand like youre holdin the ace
Baby when it comes around, are you gonna pick it up or lay it down

Fire And Rain
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Suzanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this mornin' and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to
[chorus]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Won't you like down upon me Jesus
You gotta help me make a stand
You just got to see me through another day
My body's achin'and my time is at hand
I won't make it any other way
[chorus]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again
Been walkin' my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and fine machines in pieces on the ground
[chorus]
Oh I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things comin' my way this time around
Thought I'd see, thought I'd see you...

Have You Ever Seen The Rain?
Someone told me long ago theres a calm before the storm,
I know; its been comin for some time.
When its over, so they say, itll rain a sunny day,
I know; shinin down like water.
Chorus:
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard,
I know; been that way for all my time.
til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow,
I know; it cant stop, I wonder.

You'll Never Know
Why am I here all alone
I'm gettin' growing pains
And I'm feeling so old
I'm gettin' tired,
Walking in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now life has taken it's toll
And now my sanity is gettin' harder to hold
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Now don't take advice from a stranger
You can't live your life by what other's do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
How can I make it alone?
It's such a crazy world
And I'm feelin' so stoned
I'm kinda tired
Walkin' in the rain, sleepin' in the sand
Just sleepin' in the sand
You can't see the light from an angel
You can't add the price of what others do
We're all here alive for a reason
You'll never know
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was
You'll never know just what it means
You'll never know just what it was

cause im feeling rough
In dread of the night getting high
And name on the dress
Stretch far too long
But it pleases the mind
And thats nice
Rain rain rain
She put her head on the line
When she come strong
A single girl about town
And she stands or fall
By the way she moves
Ahead of her time
She cant lose

Gets deep n worse
Oh please dont stop getting high
You got lust for life
It dont seem to die
Gonna last for ever

Red Rain
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
I am standing up at the waters edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It cant be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Well Ive seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down
There is no blood around see no sign of pain
Hay ay ay no pain
Seeing no red at all, see no rain
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Red rain-
Putting the pressure on much harder now
To return again and again
Just let the red rain splash you
Let the rain fall on your skin
I come to you defences down
With the trust of a child
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
And I cant watch any more
No more denial
Its so hard to lay down in all of this
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I see it
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
Im bathing in it
Red rain coming down
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is coming down all over me
Im begging you
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Over me in the red red sea
Over me
Over me

Im Coming Home Again
(roberts / bayer-sager)
Im not as crazy as I used to be
Some of my devils upped and left me free
To find a quiet space
Im not as out of place
Im not as lonely as I was before
I dont go in less theres an open door to leave by
Im starting to believe my own existence has a right to be
And Im comin home again
Its been too long a time
Gettin back whats mine
And I cant remember why I went away
But its lookin now like maybe I can stay
The poets cried for dreams they never saw
The only certainty is nothins sure
And most things stay the same
Or go back where they came
And though my answers still are undefined
By takin chances I can start to find some reasons
Somethin to believe in
I can make it through
I can make it through
And Im comin home again
Its been too long a time
Gettin back whats mine
And I cant remember why I went away
But its lookin now like maybe I can stay
Oh, and Im comin home again
Its been too long a time
Gettin back whats mine
And I cant remember why I went away
But its lookin now like maybe I can stay

My Sneaking Tears
How heavy fell the rain that day
From burdened clouds of mournful grey.
The torrent forced them stay their height -
Composure swayed by onerous might.
My skin wrung wet with icy chill
As mud embraced that sodden hill;
But mind of mine had elsewhere gone -
'Twas clouds abandoned I was on.
The driving drops advanced their gears
To camouflage my sneaking tears -
Whence now did swell such floods of pain
To see me melt into this rain…
On equal bearing now were we:
This rain, myself, in harmony.
