Todd Snider - Watering Flowers in the Rain Lyrics

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I WAS
WORKING WITH ELVIS
NOBODY EVER BELIEVES A WORD
I TELL THEM BUT IT'S TRUE
EVERYWHERE THAT HE WENT
WELL I WENT TOO
HE ALWAYS KNEW WHAT TO DO
TIL HE OVERDID IT

WATERING FLOWERS
IN THE POURING RAIN
POURING OVER MEMORIES
TO AN OLD REFRAIN
ON THE HEAD OF A PIN
IN A HURRICANE

WE STARTED FALLING OUT OF
EACH OTHERS LIVES WHEN
HIS WIFE LEFT HIM AND THEN
MINE LEFT ME TOO
I'VE ALWAYS TRIED NOT TO TALK SO MUCH
BUT I STILL DO
THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS
WORKING IN A NEW BAND

WATERING FLOWERS
IN THE POURING RAIN
POURING OVER MEMORIES
TO AN OLD REFRAIN
ON THE HEAD OF A PIN
IN A HURRICANE
