Lyrics

[Intro]

(One, two, one, two, three)

[Instrumental]

When I was young and I was barely free

Just a boy upon my mother's knee

Was that the wind howlin' through the trees

Or was that you calling to me?

Calling to me

[Instrumental]

You showed me where the candle flame was black

I said, "Oh, baby, I never noticed that"

And with your breasts pressed against my back

You were laughing in the bath

Laughing in the bath

[Instrumental]

Take a look at this face of mine

Is it cool? Is it crystalline?

Or a pale imitation, brand new tessellation?

Tell me what you see

Moondog, you're all I need

[Instrumental]

My mind keeps circling back to you

Just like the universe, it begs me to

What frightens me is what frightens you

Oh, babe, what are we gonna do?

What are we gonna do?

[Instrumental]

I'm breaking free with a deeper will

The one I seek is a seeker still

Always reaching, never teaching

I know nothing, baby, who am I to instruct?

Moondog, you're out of luck

[Instrumental]

Sometimes there's magic, sometimes it's hid

Half of magic is just hiding

I always loved you, just didn't know I did

One day I just let the light in

It was a barn burner in Galena, Illinois

Fate hit me like a bolt of lightning

[Refrain]

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

It's my life and I'm livin' in it

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

It's my life and I'm livin' in it

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

Tired of livin' in the pourin' rain

It's my life and I'm livin' in it

[Instrumental]

Sometimes there's magic, sometimes it's hid

Half of magic is just hiding
