Expecting Rain

..... don’t it make ya feel so low-down
To be shot down by the man who was your friend?

Well, I don’t mind a reasonable amount of trouble
Trouble always comes to pass
But all I care about now
Is that I’m seeing the real you at last

she looked into my soul through the clothes that I wore.

I got a brand new suit and a brand new wife

But when ya get tired of the Miss So-and-so I got another women for ya

Sometimes I wonder what's going on with Miss X. . .

she got married at fourteen to a rackateer named bill

(Oh yeah, that's right. . .and I also heard that)
The Groom's still waiting at the altar

"has anybody seen my love?"

She was married when we first met
Soon to be divorced

Don't want to marry nobody if they're already married!

I hate myself for lovin’ you and the weakness that it showed

Most of the time I'm strong enough not to hate!

God knows it’s true

Well, I sat by her side and for a while I tried
To make that girl my wife
She gave me her best advice and she said
Go home and lead a quiet life

If ever I return your cities I will burn!

I'll burn that bridge before you can cross

And let it burn, burn, burn, burn on a night like this

(Yes indeed), one more time at midnight near the wall

With the sun beating down over the chimney tops
And the one I love so close at hand

Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay

Oh, sister, when I come to knock on your door
Don’t turn away, you’ll create sorrow
Time is an ocean but it ends at the shore
You may not see me tomorrow

Look out your window, baby, there's a scene you'd like to catch

Look out your window and I'll be gone

You know, it’s funny how things never turn out the way you had ’em planned.
