Blue Rodeo - Rain Down On Me Lyrics

You never need forgiveness
Left home at seventeen
Raised up on hate

To a life that's second rate
I've seen that look before
Behind some closing door
You couldn't be delivered
Just won't be denied
Too much a child
Confident and wild

Nobody taught you how to live
What to keep and what to give
Now she talks to strangers
Who bring her flowers for her hair
But every night you count on me

To get you out the door
Then you smile
And watch me lose control
You rain on me
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

I used to think I knew
What I was waiting for
I don't think that anymore
I didn't know what to bring you
You don't seem to need too much at all

No pearls or chains
And nobody's sad refrains
Everytime I wonder why
I think back to the kindness in your eyes

Now everybody wants you
Bring you flowers for your hair
But every night you count on me
To peel you off the wall

Then you smile
And watch me lose control
You rain on me
Rain down on me
Rain down on me

I used to think I knew
What I was fighting for
I don't think that anymore
