Southern Rain Cowboy Junkies off Black-Eyed Man 1991
**************************************
The flies have quit their buzzing
Even Bear has stopped his barking
They all sense something brewing
Up the James and headed this way D A Asus2: lick
Bobby sips his morning coffee Says have you finished with the funnies Looks like a storm is brewing honey guess we'll have to stay in bed today
I've heard that into every life
A little of it must fall
So she spends her evenings praying
For a little of that southern rain
Marie was born in Macon Georgia She met a west coast lawyer He plucked that sweet magnolia and carried her to the hills of West LA
She says I never thought I'd tire of a dollar But this life has grown so hollow Every nite there's lipstick on his collar And every morning I wash it away
She heard that into every life......etc
:Now the tricky part...Btw i think i cocked up the first phrase of this verse, but ......:
Cars alive on city streets, of sparkling black water
like waves beneath my window never break just roll away
Tonite this rain will be my lullabye
These cars, my dreams to carry me home to stay
:Whew!:
The wipers beat a rhythm truck spray obscures my vision But I'm closing in on my destination Two more hours and I'll be at your door
And it will never cease to amaze me How a little rain can drive folks crazy When I'd trade all my clear skies glady For your blue eyes crooked smile and a steady downpour
I've heard that into every life A little of it must fall but you'll never catch me complaining about too much of that southern rain
