Little Rain

Little rain, little rain
innocence on the wane
she's silently sitting there
pretty girl, you're my secret stair
I take into another time and place
where the nice guys win the race
I run the boulevards for you
to capture a feeling and a clue
about the stormy horizons
in your dark eyes guns blazin' off into the night

Big heart, big smile
wait around for awhile
the party thins to a trickle
pretty girl, the moon's a sickle
and it just ain't romantic at all
but you can bet that if you call
I'll climb into your window
bend with you like a willow
you'll make it by somehow
we'll chase a firefly down to the end of night

Little rain and her dominion holds sway
It's gonna rain all day
chasin' the sun away
but that's okay
sometimes I just need it to be that way

Thine as a dime dame
in a fractured picture frame
out poured little rain
without her it hasn't been the same
I've missed that normal feeling of insane
her cold come and shake my body down
rid me of all the dirt of this town
I can't help but see
the girl lost in her misty reverie
little rain is the right fit for me

Needle in the hay, just a little blue in grey
but I like to feel this way
make sure she's gonna stay
she said it's okay
Little rain she's stayin' up all day
