Patti Smith - Farewell Reel lyrics

and when it rains

it rains on me

the sky just opens

and when it rains

it pours

I walk alone

assaulted it seems

by tears from heaven

and darling I can't help

thinking those tears are yours

Our wild love came from above

and wilder still

is the wind that howls

like a voice that knows it's gone

cause darling you died

and well I cried

but I'll get by

salute our love

and send you a smile

and move on

So darling farewell

all will be well

and then all will be fine

the children will rise

strong and happy be sure

cause your love flows

and the corn still grows

and God only knows

we're only given

as much as the heart can endure

But I don't know why

but when it rains

it rains on me

the sky just opens

and when it rains

it pours

But I look up

and a rainbow appears

like a smile from heaven

and darling I can't

help thinking that smile

is yours
