Com Ing Down In The Rain - Nanci Griffith

作词：Buddy Mondlock

作曲：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

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

Repeat 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
