《Southern Rain》歌词

[00:04:53] (Michael Timmins)

[00:04:53] The flies have quit their buzzing

[00:04:53] Even Bear has stopped his barking

[00:04:53] They all sense something brewing

[00:04:53] up the James and headed this way

[00:04:53] Bobby sips his morning coffee

[00:04:53] Says `Have you finished with the funnies?

[00:04:53] Looks like a storm's coming honey

[00:04:53] guess we'll have to stay in bed today'

[00:04:53] I've heard that into every life

[00:04:53] a little of it must fall

[00:04:53] If there's any truth to the saying,

[00:04:53] Lord, let it be a southern rain

[00:04:53] Marie was born in Macon, Georgia

[00:04:53] She met a west coast lawyer

[00:04:53] He plucked that sweet magnolia

[00:04:53] and carried her to the hills of West L.A.

[00:04:53] She says `I never thought I'd tire of a dollar

[00:04:53] But this life has grown so hollow

[00:04:53] Every night there's lipstick on his collar

[00:04:53] and every morning I wash it away'

[00:04:53] She heard that into every life

[00:04:53] a little of it must fall

[00:04:53] So she spends her evenings praying

[00:04:53] for a little of that southern rain

[00:04:53] Cars alive on city streets

[00:04:53] of sparkling black water

[00:04:53] like waves beneath my window

[00:04:53] never break just roll away

[00:04:53] Tonight, this rain will be my lullaby

[00:04:53] these cars, my dreams

[00:04:53] to carry me home to stay

[00:04:53] The wipers beat a rhythm

[00:04:53] Truck spray obscures my vision

[00:04:53] But I'm closing in on my destination

[00:04:53] Two more hours and I'll be at your door

[00:04:53] And it will never cease to amaze me

[00:04:53] how a little rain can drive folks crazy

[00:04:53] When I'd trade all my blue skies gladly

[00:04:53] for your blue eyes, crooked smile

[00:04:53] and a steady downpour

[00:04:53] I've heard that into every life

[00:04:53] a little of it must fall,

[00:04:53] but you'll never catch me complaining

[00:04:53] about too much of that southern rain
