Rain On Me Lyrics - Blue Rodeo

You never need forgiveness 

Left home at seventeen 

Raised up on hate 

To a life that's second rate 

I've seen that look before 

Behind some closing door 

You couldn't be delivered 

Just won't be denied 

Too much a child 

Confident and wild 

Nobody taught you how to live 

What to keep and what to give 

Now she talks to strangers 

Who bring her flowers for her hair 

But every night you count on me 

To get you out the door 

Then you smile 

And watch me lose control 

You rain on me 

Rain down on me 

Rain down on me 

I used to think I knew 

What I was waiting for 

I don't think that anymore 

I didn't know what to bring you 

You don't seem to need too much at all 

No pearls or chains 

And nobody's sad refrains 

Everytime I wonder why 

I think back to the kindness in your eyes 

Now everybody wants you 

Bring you flowers for your hair 

But every night you count on me 

To peel you off the wall 

Then you smile 

And watch me lose control 

You rain on me 

Rain down on me 

Rain down on me 

I used to think I knew 

What I was fighting for 

I don't think that anymore
