Lyrics Rain Down on Me - Blue Rodeo

Rain Down on Me

Well you never need forgiveness
left home at seventeen
raised up on hate
to a life that’s second rate…
I’ve seen that look before
behind some closing door
You couldn’t be delivered
just won’t be denied
too much a child
Confident and wild…
nobody taught you how to live
what to keep and what to give
Oh now she talks to strangers
who bring her flowers for her hair
but every night you count on me
to get you out the door
Oh then you smile and watch me lose control
Rain on me
oh rain down on me
oh rain down on me
I used to think I knew
what I was waiting for
I don’t think that anymore
Didn’t know what to bring you
don’t seem to need too much at all
no pearls and chains
and nobody’s sad refrains
Everytime I wonder why
think back to the kindness in your eyes
Now everybody wants you
bring you flowers for your hair
but every night you count on me
to peel you off the wall
Oh then you smile and watch me lose control
Rain on me
oh rain down on me
oh rain down on me
I used to think I knew
what I was fighting for
Oh I don’t think that anymore
