Lyrics About the Rain - Ron Pope

About the Rain

About The Rain
I woke up in a sleepy airport bar all by myself
And the waitress stared and asked me
«may I get you something else?»
So I thought for a moment
And before I grabbed my bags
I said, «I'll have one more whiskey;
Then one more after that.»
On the plane to Baltimore
I met a red haired girl
Who’s brother works in futures;
What that means, I am not sure
I could’ve sworn
I saw myself in her haunted sea green eyes
When we landed
I stood up and smiled, then we both said goodbye
All I know about the rain
I learned from keeping dry
The hardest part of loving you
Is that you were never mine
On the cab ride back to my hotel
I lost the afternoon
And watched the clouds roll endlessly;
My thoughts returned to you
I wonder if you sleep well in that bed which you have made
Or if at night your dreams return to the one you sent away
All I know about the rain
I learned from keeping dry
The hardest part of loving you
Is that you were never mine
And the loneliness that’s tortured me
Each moment of my life
Has turned the boy who saw it all
Into a man that’s blind
If truth is not the answer
I will pay my debts in blood
In surrendering all that I have
I’ll prove I’m not enough
All I know about the rain, I learned from keeping dry
The hardest part of loving you, is that you were never mine
All I know about the rain, I learned from keeping dry
The hardest part of loving you, is that you were never mine
