rain
I often quote songs on my blog when I dont have the right words for what I want to say. One the songs that has been on repeat in my player the past couple of days is Patty Griffin’s Rain. It is all at once a sad song and a song of hope…. It is, in my friend Kateys words, “a song so good it makes me hurt”. And it has been wonderfully rainy and meloncholy outside, which seems fitting…..
so the words to Rain….
its hard to listen to a hard hard heart
beating close to mine
pounding up against the stone and steel
walls that i won’t climb
sometimes the hurt is so deep deep deep
you think that youre gonna drown
sometimes all i can do is weep weep weep
with all this rain falling down
strange how hard it rains now
rows and rows of big dark clouds
but im holding on underneath this shroud
ra-a-a-in
its hard to know when to give up the fight
somethings you want will just never be right
its never rained like it has tonight before
now i don’t want to beg you baby
for something maybe you could never give
im not looking for the rest of your life
i just want another chance to live
strange how hard it rains now
rows and rows of big dark clouds
but im holding on underneath this shroud
ra-a-a-in
strange how hard it rains now
rows and rows of big dark clouds
but im holding on underneath this shroud
ra-a-a-in
strange how hard it rains now
rows and rows of big dark clouds
but im still alive underneath this shroud
ra-a-a-in
ohh ra-a-a-in
ohh ra-a-a-in
