Rainwater
Rainwater gathers ‘round my
front door
The foundation’s cracking I
can’t stand it anymore
The gutters are filled with
ten seasons of leaves
I don’t even remember the
names of those trees
An honest day’s work, will
keep a man down
There’s only one way to stay
above ground
I’ll sing you a song with
verse that rhymes
Pass all my days spending
time
Suburban passion and
suburban pain suburban smiles and suburban rain
No one remembers and nobody
lies haunted by visions of yesterday’s lives
Dante Alighieri and
Michelangelo went down to Canaan to plead for their souls
Solomon laughed, pointed to
Cain said, “Jewish dirt farmers got nothing to say.”
Rainwater gathers ‘round my
front door
The foundation’s cracking I
can’t stand it anymore
The gutters are filled with
ten seasons of leaves
I don’t even remember the
names of those trees
Watch where you step and
guard what you pray
Someone is watching someone
will pay
Beg for direction begging to
feel
You follow the joker into
the field
Tighten your
bootstraps
Double check your
supplies
you’re haunted by visions of
yesterday’s lives
