Gone Like Rain Lyrics

Gone Like Rain lyrics

With downcast eyes the multitudes set

as the cattle cars pulled along the
rusty tracks

one raised his hand in the fading light

said excuse me
sir this doesn't seem right



and now he's gone like whispers gone
like rain

gone like the faithful while the faithless remain

gone
like the stone the builder refused

gone and overdue



There's
a river in Texas with a strong undertow

no one crosses it to freedom, no
one pans for gold

its waters are clear but its waters are cold

its
current is swift and no one knows where it goes



it's just gone
like whispers gone like rain

gone like the faithful while the faithless
remain

gone like the stone the builder refused

gone and overdue

gone and overdue



[harmonica solo]



When a cool desert
don't appear on no map

coyote's scream rips the night in half

he
hears the devil coming

footsteps on the path

so he chews off his
own leg to get out of the trap



and he's gone like whispers gone
like rain

gone like the faithful while the faithless remain

gone
like the stone the builder refused

gone and overdue

gone and
overdue
