Comin' Down In the Rain

Flipped into the wind Like the ashes of her cigarette He got scattered thrown on the breeze As he tried to forget He lost all his heat And his heart never will be the same He got lighter than air But he'll only come down in the rain Strung out and hung out to dry Laughin' under the line It's not such a dignified place But he really don't mind He says with his feet on the ground He'd have nothin' to say Claims he likes it up there And he'll only come down in the rain Chorus: Comin' down in the rain Washin' outta the sky Loaded down with the pain There just ain't no way to fly You can read him as clear As the wall where he once wrote his name It was right next to hers But it'll only come down in the rain Burnin' himself out on a limb Like a leaf in the fall He blazed for awhile Now he's feelin' all dried up and small The colors all gone Disappeared, near as quick as it came He says he can't stay up But, he'll only come down in the rain (Repeat chorus) You can read him as clear as the wall Where he once wrote his name It was right next to hers But he'll only come down in the rain
