lyrics

Rain​ ​upon​ ​my​ ​rooftop
is​ ​rain​ ​I​ ​welcome​ ​gladly
Now​ ​I’m​ ​disposed​ ​of​ ​working​ ​day
and​ ​the​ ​day​ ​too​ ​has​ ​had​ ​me,
I​ ​will​ ​listen​ ​and​ ​although​ ​you​ ​are​ ​not​ ​silent as​ ​so​ ​many​ ​like​ ​to​ ​say
you​ ​fall​ ​upon​ ​my​ ​rooftop
and​ ​with​ ​it​ ​make​ ​your​ ​noise
in​ ​such​ ​a​ ​silent​ ​way

For​ ​I’m​ ​not​ ​abandoned
and​ ​clever​ ​I​ ​am​ ​witted
though​ ​the​ ​day​ ​is​ ​gone​ ​and​ ​spent another​ ​shall​ ​be​ ​fitted
Though​ ​I’ve​ ​heard​ ​of​ ​passing​ ​through I’ve​ ​also​ ​heard
of​ ​sinking​ ​for​ ​the​ ​sake​ ​of​ ​it
and​ ​given​ ​what​ ​you​ ​choose​ ​to​ ​do
as​ ​you​ ​pass​ ​through
I’d​ ​be​ ​best​ ​to​ ​let​ ​me​ ​sink

Sweet​ ​Loretta
Oh​ ​darlin​ ​sweet​ ​Loretta
(No​ ​that’s​ ​not​ ​what​ ​you​ ​say)
Streets​ ​are​ ​wetter
Now​ ​all​ ​your​ ​streets​ ​are​ ​wetter
(That’s​ ​probably​ ​what​ ​you’d​ ​say) Important​ ​things​ ​-​ ​you​ ​cannot​ ​bring​ ​- except​ ​those​ ​that​ ​come​ ​in
such​ ​unimposing​ ​ways
And​ ​nothing’s​ ​touched​ ​me​ ​quite​ ​so​ ​nearly even​ ​though​ ​I’m​ ​dry
and​ ​you’re​ ​a​ ​roof​ ​away

Rain​ ​upon​ ​my​ ​rooftop
is​ ​rain​ ​that​ ​gathers​ ​dearly
Though​ ​the​ ​day​ ​is​ ​gone​ ​and​ ​spent so​ ​hundreds​ ​go​ ​by​ ​yearly
I​ ​am​ ​one,
and​ ​with​ ​me​ ​here​ ​are​ ​thousands
all​ ​inspired​ ​by​ ​you​ ​to​ ​sink​ ​into​ ​sleep Oh​ ​night​ ​time​ ​is​ ​the​ ​perfect​ ​place for​ ​you​ ​and​ ​I​ ​to​ ​have​ ​our​ ​way
and​ ​never​ ​meet
