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 hell only come down in the rain Strung out and hung out to dry Laughin under the line Its not such a dignified place But he really dont mind He says with his feet on the ground Hed have nothin to gain Claims he likes it up there And hell only come down in the rain Chorus Comin down in the rain Washin out of the sky Loaded down with the pain There just aint 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 itll only come down in the rain Burnin himself out on a limb Like a leaf in the fall He blazed for awhile Now hes feelin all dried up and small The colors all gone Disappeared near as quick as it came He says he cant stay up But hell only come down in the rain Repeat chorus And you can read him as clear as the wall Where he once wrote his name It was right next to hers But itll only come down in the rain
rain, hell, wrote, itll, blazed
