Raining On the Rock - John Williamson

Remember me the way I was The way I'd make you late for work I had to hold you, just because Remember you the way you'd wake me up To love me once again We were lovers, we were friends But was I chasin' rainbows Blinded by the sun And did I take for granted I'd be the only one? I didn't know you were so lonely Am I to blame for making you that way? Did I neglect all that mattered? With my head so far above The clouds I didn't see That it was raining on our love Remember when, just to feel my touch Was all you ever needed Oh it used to be enough Remember when love Was a promise we would give our lives to keep And no river ran as deep But was I chasin' rainbows Blinded by the sun And did I take for granted I'd be the only one? I didn't know you were so lonely Am I to blame for makin' you that way? Did I neglect all that mattered? With my head so far above The clouds I didn't see That it was raining on our love I was taking all the love you had to give But I was too lost in life to know That without my love in return you could not live Now she gives the love I did not show I didn't know you were so lonely Am I to blame for makin' you that way? Did I neglect all that mattered? With my head so far above The clouds I didn't see That it was raining on our love

The sun is out, the sky is blue There's not a cloud to spoil the view But it's raining, raining in my heart The weather man says clear today He doesn't know you've gone away And it's raining, raining in my heart Oh, misery, misery What's gonna become of me? I tell my blues they mustn't show But soon these tears are bound to flow 'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart But it's raining, raining in my heart And it's raining, raining in my heart Oh, misery, misery What's gonna become of me? I tell my blues they mustn't show But soon these tears are bound to flow 'Cause it's raining, raining in my heart Raining in my heart Raining in my heart

Well old Bob hasn't got much but he values his boots He values the time he spends growin' flowers He still loves his babies that grew to be men He recalls all the days 'n' nights and the hours When he and his woman worked on the land In the heat and the dry, in the cold and the wet He still picks her a rose and his old heart still races She's still the most beautiful girl that he's met And you ask is he happy... and you ask is he happy...? He's got wrinkles from smiling, he feels lucky and free And he knows what it means to live here in the sunshine He's got wrinkles... He walks with Amelia down to the store With a little cane basket for the bread and the daily Sun Still hand in hand like babes in the meadows And young faces turn Love is so beautiful, it can be so deep And a man is a king when he has his own princess Bob wears no crown, no long flowing robe But there in his mind he still rides on his black stallion Then a cold winter came, and Bob was alone His beautiful princess had flown with the angels He faded so quickly, the man became old And the wandering dew soon covered the roses First just a cane, then a strong stick for walking Then just a chair with a grey old man dying All that he lived for was always beside him So Bob left in peace, to join his lady And you ask is he happy... and you ask is he happy...? He had wrinkles from smiling He felt lucky and free And he knew what it meant to live here in the sunshine He had wrinkles...
