Wish It Would Rain

You got a blessing and a curse You got a sickness growing worse You need a magic wand and a dream that you can rely on You got scars on your back You’re like an animal caught in a trap You got a pocket full of sand and a trembling hand That no one can understand Sometimes I just wish it would rain Rain on you and me Rain all over the dry, dry ground Rain all over the sad, sad souls That surround You and me You’re a soldier who can’t come home And a mother looking out the window Waiting for her loved one At the door You feel blind at the carnival Stumbling like a criminal With nothing but a bottle And an old baby rattle in your hands Sometimes I just wish it would rain Rain on you and me Rain all over the dry, dry ground Rain all over the sad, sad souls That surround You and me Rain take away the sadness Take away the madness Can you wash us clean Wash us clean You’re a small voice on the phone Calling from somewhere I don’t know You say “Man, I don’t think I can keep going on” Sometimes I just wish it would rain Rain on you and me Rain all over the dry, dry ground Rain all over the sad, sad souls That surround You and me
