Mission In The Rain Lyrics - Grateful Dead

I turn and walk away 

Then I come 'round again 

It looks as though tomorrow 

I'll do pretty much the same 

I must turn down your offer 

But I'd like to ask a break 

You know I'm ready to give everything 

For anything I take 

Someone called my name 

You know I turned around to see 

It was midnight in the mission 

And the bells were not for me 

Come again, walking along 

In the mission in the rain 

Come again, walking along 

In the mission in the rain 

Ten years ago, I walked this street 

My dreams were riding tall 

Tonight I would be thankful Lord 

For any dream at all 

Some folks would be happy 

Just to have one dream come true 

But everything you gather 

Is just more that you can lose 

Someone called my name 

You know I turned around to see 

It was midnight in the mission 

And the bells were not for me 

Come again, walking along 

In the mission in the rain 

Come again, walking along 

In the mission in the rain 

All the things I planned to do 

I only did half way 

Tomorrow will be Sunday 

Born of rainy Saturday 

There's some satisfaction 

In the San Francisco rain 

No matter what comes down 

The mission always looks the same 

Someone called my name 

You know I turned around to see 

It was midnight in the mission 

And the bells were not for me 

Come again, walking along 

In the mission in the rain 

Come again, walking along 

In the mission in the rain
