RAINDANCE

From the album PHOTOGRAPH (1976)

I'd like to be clear but the words are old
First person songs about second hand roles
I'd like to play you one this time I'd like to explain
But all I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

Let it rain...rain rain
Let it rain
All I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

You know they looked at my heart and then they looked at my head
They pulled my worlds apart and they left them for dead
But I'd like to give you one this time I'd really like to explain
And all I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance
I do a dance for rain

So, let it rain...rain rain
Let it rain
All I do is play this heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

I'd like to give you one this time I'd really like to explain
But all I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

Oh, let it rain...rain rain
Let it rain
All I do is play my heart and soul out and do a dance
I do a dance for rain

Let it let it rain let it rain let it rain let it rain
All I do is play this heart and soul out and do a dance for rain

Let it rain...
Let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, oh...

As the air has wind and wine in it,
Thick with it,
And the path filled with moss and mushrooms
How am I to remember the way
Except to follow the breezes
Soused and simmered with after-dinner drink
Wake me up for the mint.
