Rain on the City Songtext

von Freedy Johnson

Rain on the city, rain out on the sea
Rain down on the people in the street
Rain on the window from far out in the land
Rain, come down to rest in my hand

As a couple opens one umbrella
And goes along their way
There's a guy with bags looking for a cab
And it is not his day

Running to the corner, a girl with flowers
Hair down in her face and everybody's trying to get away
Tears come on down and join the fallen rain
Go back to the place from where you came

You know it's hard in the city
And this place gets so cold
Rain, can I go with you when you go?

There's an empty bed, a broken desk
A temporary home
There's a thing I saw and then I heard
And it won't leave me alone

We'll go walk the streets, you and me
Follow me in the gutter
We are going down to the river

Rain on the city, rain on the city

We will all come down, a peaceful sound
And rise up with the sun
We will gather there up in the air
And fly over everyone

We collide and change and fall again
On some silly day
And help somebody wash some pain away

Rain on the city, rain on the city
Rain on the city, rain on the city
