Expecting Rain

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhhhhh, Jokerman!

Sometimes I'm in the mood, I'm gonna laugh until I cry

Where teardrops fall. . .

Buckets of tears...

Bury the rag deep in your face.
For now's the time for your tears.

I hope that you can hear
Hear me singin’ through these tears

Tears of rage, tears of grief

Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin’ out of my ears ..

Crimson flames tied through my ears.

"And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?"

I have heard rumors all over town.

Someone else is speakin’ with my mouth,
but I’m listening only to my heart ..

And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son ?

my heart is telling me I love ya but you’re strange

Someone else is speakin' with my mouth but I'm listening only to my heart.

And what did you hear, my darling young one?

Music that comes from a far better land

Where a marching band's still playing in that vacant lot

but there's nothing really nothing to turn off

Wasn't thinking of anything specific

Thinking of you when the sun comes up

...I’m thinking of you and all the places we could roam together...

Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho
Let every state in this union seep down deep in your souls

The place i love best is a sweet memory

And I ain't never gonna be the same again
