Needed The Rain

Needed The Rain

rained a little
then it rained a little more
then a big ol’ thunderstorm
come a knocking at my door
before I got my boots on man
she’d done passed through town
really left me reeling
and some old trees laying down
got me wondering where that
blue sky was hiding

the fields were taking on
her latest refrain
dogs were barking down there
at the end of their chain
there's a new moon rising
but he's pretty hard to see
a little change in the atmosphere
put the change on me
got me wondering about
this big rock shaking
what with all of these
new thoughts I’m thinking

worry never served me well
like staying in a cheap hotel
you’re stuck there in that little place
and there just ain’t no space
to change your mind
no space to change your mind

pulled out my harpoon
I signed for the bill
left my troubles laying down
there on the windowsill
old black crow flying
hey you’re a friend of mine
meet me at the rising
and the red sky line
way on out there where
that big sun is breaking
what with all of these
new thoughts I’m thinking

worry never served me well
like staying in a cheap hotel
and though my boat was sinking
all I know is that we needed the rain
