Rain

Here's a case study of a standard issue heartbreak

Broken trust, aching love, pack it in a suitcase

With all of my panic to carry across the Atlantic like

Emmylou- just to fly, they want love songs, baby I

Don't know how to be happy

With or without him, some other shade of grey

So I don't sing about sunshine

All I write about is rain

Rain

Maybe I'll cut my hair, join a Limerick City rock band

Or hold him like a souvenir, stolen from the homeland

Pour me a double 'cause I'm asking for trouble and

Maybe I'll sit awhile, tell my fingers not to dial

I don't know how to be happy

With or without him, some other shade of grey

So I don't sing about sunshine

All I write about is rain

Rain

In an angry bruise, buried blood, loneliness wrapped in rage

In a deluge, in a flood, I am words pouring down a page

I don't know how to be happy

I don't know, I don't know

How to be happy

With or without him

Just a shade of grey

So I don't sing about sunshine

All I write about is rain

Rain

Rain

Rain
