Mission In The Rain Lyrics - Garcialive, Vol. 4: March 22nd, 1978 Veteran's Hall - Jerry Garcia

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. 

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. 

Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain.
