Expecting Rain

It's hello, goodbye, then push and then CRASH!

...on the levee Mama, water's gonna overflow.

Until the break of day

I’ll always thank the Lord
When my working day’s through
I get my sweet reward
To be alone with you

Well, ev'rybody's got somethin' That they're lookin' forward to.

...things have changed..

And i'm gonna make myself a different set of rules.

I feel a change comin' on

Feel like a prisoner in a world of mystery
I wish someone would come
And push back the clock for me

I got no idea what I want
Well, maybe I do but I’m just really not sure

The party’s over and there’s less and less to say
I got new eyes
Everything looks far away

I think what I need might be a full-length leather coat

And if my thought-dreams could be seen. . .

There's no time to think.

I was thinking about turquoise, I was thinking about gold
I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace

I woke up this morning, butter and eggs in my bed

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed

Seen you turn the corner, seen your boot heels spark
Seen you in the daylight, and watched you in the dark
And I want you to be that woman, all right
Be that woman every night

You got such Dark Eyes

The woman that I love she got a hook in her nose
her eyebrows meet, she wears second hand clothes
She speaks with a stutter and she walks with a hop
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop

Makes ya stop and a wonder why.

...People are crazy and times are strange

Never seemed strange, but now I just pass mournfully by that place where the bones of life are piled; I know somethin’ has changed

Gonna raise me an army

guess I’m doin’ fine And I never had no armies

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

Well, I met somebody face to face
and I had to remove my hat,
She's everything I need and love
but I can't be swayed by that.
It frightens me, the awful truth
of how sweet life can be,
But she ain't a-gonna make me move,
I guess it must be up to me....

Everybody moving if they ain't already there
Everybody got to move somewhere
