Blue Rodeo - Rain On Me lyrics

We never need forgiveness<br />

Left home at 17<br />

Raised up on hate<br />

To a life that's second rate<br />

I've seen that look before<br />

Behind some closin door<br />

Could be delivered,<br />

Just won't be denied<br />

Too much a child<br />

Confident and wild<br />

Nobody taught you how to live<br />

What to keep and what to give<br />

And now she talks to strangers<br />

They bring her flowers for her hair<br />

And every night you count on me<br />

To peel you off the walls<br />

Oh then you smile and watch me lose control<br />

<br />

Chorus:<br />

Rain on me<br />

Oh rain down on me<br />

Rain on me, yay<br />

I used to think I knew<br />

What I was waiting for<br />

I don't think that anymore.<br />

<br />

Didn't know what to bring you<br />

Don't seem to need too much at all<br />

No pearls and chains<br />

And nobody's sad refrains<br />

Every time I wonder why<br />

I look back to the kindness in your eyes<br />

<br />

Oh and now she talks to strangers<br />

They bring her flowers for her hair<br />

And every night you count on me<br />

To get you out the door<br />

Oh and then you smile and watch me lose control<br />

<br />

Chorus<br />

<br />

I used to think I knew<br />

What I Was fighting for<br />

I don't think that anymore....
