Didn't It Rain

This love of my life speaks of her past lives to me I ask her how they're better than what she did yesterday She says the greatest thing is simply to be I say to be cannot grow the crops or the weeds Didn't it rain mama Didn't it rain We had the time of our lives when the skies were the darkest I don't really think that these clouds will ever lift You just rise your head to where the sun has blessed And you say a prayer for your feet on the ground Didn't it rain mama Didn't it rain I remember waking up knee deep and thinking How I'm turning twenty-two and that turns to twenty-four And your twenties turn into your sixties while you're dreaming You were right when you said the that sky was falling Didn't it rain mama Didn't it rain I look around in the flood for a body or a soul And I look to your body for so very many things Let me buy you a drink, one that's nice and cold See I never pay the grave buys em for me Didn't it rain mama Didn't it rain All will be well and all manner of rain fell I'm gonna say it 'til I mean it, all will be well Oh, sweet lady pray for us drowning hearts in hell All the sky just fell but all manner will be well Didn't it rain mama Didn't it rain A love in my life spoke of past lives to me Now that's what she is she's a drop in the sea I have this dream about my dying daddy Flashes of lightening and then thunder sets him free Didn't it rain mama Didn't it rain
