Lyrics:
I saw you standing with the wind and the rain in your face
And you were thinking 'bout the wisdom of the leaves and their grace
When the leaves
There is a man you'll hear about
Most every place you go,
And his holdings are in Texas
And his name is Diamond Joe.
And he carries all his money
We were in the backseat
Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar
"I rent a place on Cornelia Street"
I say casually in the car
We
I saw you standing with the wind and the rain in your face
And you were thinking 'bout the wisdom of the leaves and their grace
When the leaves
and you only get 1 trip.
I got off in Jackson and I started thinking staring out the window at the rain and I been living like a man sleep walking
of weakness and of might
The spoke of people in the snow
And distant places long ago
The spoke of fire and falling rain
Of health and wealth and death
for the good in life,
a time to kill the pain in life,
dream about the sun you queen of rain
It's time to place your bets in life,
I've played
She said, "Come on in out the rain, come on in out the rain,
Lord, come on in out the rain, sit down by the fireside,
And dry yourself." Achoo, do it,
stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doin' it for some doll
When you spot a John
Waitin' out in the rain
Chances are he's insane
As only a John
It never rains in southern California
I'll see you when I get there
I haven't seen your face in a year
I can't wait 'til I get there
Just
Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
A heavy rain a fallin'
Seems I hear your voice callin'
"It's all right"
and well in the fall here
Than that God-forsaken place in Tennessee
Gone to Shiloh
For the Union
Shoulder to shoulder
Side by side
Gone to Shiloh
when she took me by the hand.
Crime of passion.
A beautiful woman and a desperate man.
Now the cop at the station's name was Joe...saw it
the wrong place to visit
I don't know an MC who has enough balls to diss it
Whether rain or shine, we be bustin out nines
Hey yo Punisher, hit em
Alstewart- Elvaston Place
Elvaston Place
A run-down basement in South Ken
Hiding your face
Behind the railings in the rain
Stony steps to a small
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle
Just remember darlin' all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in
have big fun on the bayou
Thibodaux, Fontaineaux, the place is buzzin'
A kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dressed in style they go hog wild,
The places where we used to meet we go togehter
Step by step like shoes on the feet we go together
Just like the sand out in the sea what good is
(Verse 1)
In a town by the river, with the trees so tall,
Lived Injun Joe, who was known by all,
With stories deep in his heart and mind,
He walked
without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Oh, whoah
Oh
The stars are burning
I
stars in the sky
You can bet that he's doin' it for some doll
When you spot a John
Waitin' out in the rain
Chances are he's insane
As only a John
steered us through the shadows
Upon an angry tide
And cast us one by one over the side
It's kind of hot and smokey
In this anteroom to Hell
I won't
I just sat down to watch the game
When I heard the doorbell ring
An' I wondered who in the world it could be
Through the peephole, all that I saw
just found dead
No more windows, no more trains
Hung himself out in the rain
Now he'll never be that boy again
And we say by-bye Bill McCai
