Rain, Oh, Rain

Fool's Gold

Compositor: Dennis Henson

I heard some news this mornin' that the river is on the rise
If you don't know how to swim you better know how to fly
But I didn't listen got a mind of my own
So I crawled out on the edge of the limb
And waited for the ragin' storm

Rain oh rain stop fallin' down on me
I'm losin' my grip and I'm startin' to slip away
Rain oh rain please stop fallin' down
I can't swim and I can't fly
I'm afraid that I might drown

I saw a man in the mirror that I've never seen before
Looked and talked an awful lot like me
Said I tried to warn you
But you never heard a word I said
And now you're gonna have a price to pay
Your startin' to fade away

Rain oh rain stop fallin' down on me
I'm losin' my grip and I'm startin' to slip away
Rain oh rain please stop fallin' down
I can't swim and I can't fly
I'm afraid that I might drown

Sometimes it's hard for a man to realize
That everything that you tried to do don't always turn out right
And I'm feelin' kind of weak and mighty cold
I feel like I've been bought and I've been sold
And the storm is ragin' deep inside my soul
And I'm feelin' alone

I heard some news this mornin' that the river is on the rise
If you don't know how to swim you better know how to fly
But I didn't listen got a mind of my own
So I crawled out on the edge of the limb
And waited for the ragin' storm

Rain oh rain stop fallin' down on me
I'm losin' my grip and I'm startin' to slip away
Rain, oh, rain please stop fallin' down
I can't swim and I can't fly
I'm afraid that I might drown
