A Long Steady Rain

My baby's walkin' home in a long steady rain,

She left the city on last night's train;

Be good to see her here once again,

Be better to see her in that long steady rain.

Pull up a chair baby eat a little crow,

Are those raindrops or tears -- I ain't gonna know;

Ain't it a shame how you're chilled down to you toes,

And the rain done soaked through your fine pretty clothes.

Lookin' out my window I can't explain,

Nothin' soothes my soul like a long steady rain.

So loverboy told you a big pack of lies,

He stole your heart and the stars in your eyes;

To turn back the clock you know that there's a price,

Undo the damage and to tie back the ties.

Long steady rain on that gal of mine,

Why you look at the house like it's a box of pine;

You know I'm your man and I have been all the time

From here time, on out we're gonna get along fine.

Lookin' out my window I can't explain,

Nothin' soothes my soul like a long steady rain.
