John Wesley Harding - Driving In The Rain Lyrics
With all your vice and volume the whole of last weekThe plastic pretenders to paradise speakOf your fictions of triumph and legends of painThe sense that youd left youd be back once againTheres a glint in your eyes and the sky starts to laughIts two to one you never did things by halfAnd Im out on the rooftops yelling your nameCos without you this town will be too much the sameYou went driving in the rainIll never see you againTheres nothing in the air left to compareTo all of your passion and genius painYou went driving in the rainIll never see you againThere was talk of an illness that came by surpriseThe papers did penance, the whole town took sidesOh, but it was your dancing and mischeivous mindAnd then we were shot of you, but no-ones that blindAnd theres flowers have bloomed down the side of your streetWhere you and your demons did openly meetAnd I hope its wide open where youve got toTheres closed minds in this town that couldnt accept you(chorus)Theyre making excuses, the reasons the factsTheyre reasoning how long youll take to come backBut theres guilt in their prayers, maybe shame in their prideThey know it was no fault of yours down insideThey steps cant be retraced cos tracks disappearAnd thered be no welcome for you back hereBecause you were the worst side of everyones soulThey had to get rid or face up to the cold(chorus)
