flipped into the wind like the ashes of her cigarette he got scattered and thrown on the breeze as he tried to forget he lost all his heat and his heart never will be the same he got lighter than air but he ll only come down in the rain strung out and hung out to dry laughin under the line it s not such a dignified place but he really don t mind he says with his feet on the ground he d have nothin to gain claims he likes it up there and he ll only come down in the rain chorus comin down in the rain washin out of the sky loaded down with the pain there just ain t no way to fly and you can read him as clear as the wall where he once wrote his name it was right next to hers but it ll only come down in the rain burnin himself out on a limb like a leaf in the fall he blazed for awhile now he s feelin all dried up and small the color s all gone disappeared near as quick as it came he says he can t stay up but he ll only come down in the rain and you can read him as clear as the wall where he once wrote his name it was right next to hers but it ll only come down in the rain
