Blue Rodeo Rain Down On Me Lyrics

Rain Down On Me Lyrics

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

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

then you smile

and watch me lose control

You rain on me

rain down on me 

rain down on me

I used to think I knew

what I was waiting for

I don't think that anymore

I didn't know what to bring you

you don't seem to need too much at all

no pearls or chains

and nobody's sad refrains

everytime I wonder why 

I 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

then you smile

and watch me lose control

You rain on me

rain down on me 

rain down on me

I used to think I knew

what I was fighting for

I don't think that anymore
