About The Rain
Ron Pope
About The Rain [Verse 1] I woke up in a sleepy airport bar all by myself And the waitress stared and asked me "may I get you something else?" So I thought for a moment And before I grabbed my bags I said "I’ll have one more whiskey; Then one more after that." [Verse 2] On the plane to Baltimore I met a red haired girl Who’s brother works in futures; What that means I am not sure I could’ve sworn I saw myself in her haunted sea green eyes When we landed I stood up and smiled then we both said goodbye [Chorus] All I know about the rain I learned from keeping dry The hardest part of loving you Is that you were never mine [Verse 3] On the cab ride back to my hotel I lost the afternoon And watched the clouds roll endlessly; My thoughts returned to you I wonder if you sleep well in that bed which you have made Or if at night your dreams return to the one you sent away [Chorus] All I know about the rain I learned from keeping dry The hardest part of loving you Is that you were never mine [Verse 4] And the loneliness that’s tortured me Each moment of my life Has turned the boy who saw it all Into a man that’s blind If truth is not the answer I will pay my debts in blood In surrendering all that I have I’ll prove I’m not enough [Final Chorus] All I know about the rain I learned from keeping dry The hardest part of loving you is that you were never mine All I know about the rain I learned from keeping dry The hardest part of loving you is that you were never mine
