Ryan Adams - Dirty Rain


Last time I was here it was raining
It ain’t raining anymore
Streets were drowning and the water’s laming
All the ruins washed ashore
Now I am here just looking through the rubble
Try to find out who we were
Last time I was here it was raining
It ain’t raining anymore

Last time I was here you were waiting
You’re not waiting anymore
The window’s broke and the smoke’s escaping
The books scattered across the floor
And the churchbells are ringing through the sirens
Your coat was full of bulletholes
Last time I was here you were waiting
You’re not waiting anymore

So
May the wind blow
May the moonlight know your name
So
Let the needle pull the record ‘round
To the walls came in
You and I we’re out there dancing
In the dirty rain

Last time I was here it was raining
Like you have never seen it rain
And your eyes were filled with terror
And tears from the gasoline
As the stars exloding with gunfire
I saw you smiling just before
Last time I was here you were crying
You ain’t crying anymore
