Lyrics

Gray Jean was a river child Born down by the river wild Said hey, what ya wanna be? Nobody's gonna? Me And she wants you but you won't do And it won't leave you alone And the rain falls on the wrong year And it won't leave you alone, it won't leave you alone Could be that he's into you Could be that the opposite's true Struck down as a summer child Ten steps just to run a mile And he wants you but you won't do And it won't leave you alone And the rain falls on the wrong year And it won't leave you alone, it won't leave you alone Your spirit's weiling Flesh is getting old Speaker's blaring out some long forgotten chord Some missbegotten long forgotten chord Sing me some mandolin And I'll sleep all the winter long Till then I can only be, nobody's gonna? Me And she wants you but you won't do And it won't leave you alone And the rain falls on the wrong year And it won't leave you alone, it won't leave you alone
