Goin' Down In The Rain Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

(Buddy Mondlock) 

 

Flipped into the wind 

Like the ashes of her cigarette 

He got scattered thrown on the breeze 

As he tried to forget 

He lost all his heat 

And his heart will never be the same 

He got lighter than air 

But he'll only come down in the rain 

 

Strung out and hung out to dry 

Laughin' under the line 

It's not such a digified place 

But he really don't mind 

He says with his feet on the ground 

He'd had nothin' to gain 

Claims he likes it up there 

And he'll only come down in the rain 

 

Chorus 

Comin' down in the rain 

Washin' outta the sky 

Loaded down with the pain 

There ain't just no way to fly 

You can read him as clear 

As the wall where he once wrote his name 

It was right next to hers 

But it'll only come down in the rain 

 

Burnin' himself out on a limb 

Like a leaf in the fall 

He blazed for awhile 

Now he's feelin' all dried up and small 

The colors all gone 

Disappeared, near as quick as it came 

He says he can't stay up 

But, but he'll only come down in the rain 

 

Chorus 

 

You can read him clear as the wall 

Where he once wrote his name 

It was right next to hers 

But he'll only come down in the rain
