The Verlaines – It Was Raining Lyrics

Artist: The Verlaines
Song: It Was Raining

Well hello there sordid inmates
You’ve got fences round your necks
And you took all the hordes of adoring girls’ applause for it
And to follow, Old Man Sorrow is gonna make you watch it all again

Up on high in a pogo zone
And there’s blistering heat from a molten stone
Yeah and he wants to go, oh yeah he wants to go home
When the memory’s dead and the man lives on

And the greenest of grass is not enough to live on
And he only knows ‘go the whole way or don’t go at all’
It’s the middle of winter and things are gеtting harder to look at
I scrape a hole in thе ice and the snow and I look out

And I feel as well as could be dead
I light a cigarette
She walks to the door and she turns once more
And says, “It’s your way, it’s not mine, don’t forget.”

And the snow falls on the traveller’s head
He puts his weary wings to flight
He staggers like Atlas asked to dance
There are no truths in here tonight

And what a scene in the morning light
The bridge is burnt and he’s standing on the wrong side
And there’s no home
And there’s no home

And there’s no home
And there’s no way he can go home
And those that hold the lie of choice say
Maudlin’s all that’s in his voice

And ask a pound of flesh returned
And stab him when his back is turned
And they asked him what he came here for
He said there wasn’t a single bridge out there at all

It was raining when you came here
Take it with you when you leave
And you can take your rain and your melancholia with you
Save it for the next one

When you’re ready I am
