Praying For Rain Lyrics

I could tell you a story about a place that I went

About the people I met and the money I spent

I could bring you to the edge of a nightmare or two

But in the cold light of day what good would it do?

To be yours in the evening but wake up alone

With your face on my washcloth and your lips on my phone

If there's nothing to lose then there's nothing to gain

When I see too much snow I start praying for rain

Praying for someone to send me a sign

A hot cup of tea and a cold glass of wine

A hobo just died, froze to death on the train

With his hands clasped together while praying for rain

In this frozen white north Adirondack resort

It seems winter is long, but my life is too short

As the temperature drops and the ice starts to freeze

I imagine El Nino is down on it's knees

When it hears that the world threw it's warmth to the wind

With the wink of an eye and a head that soon spinned

It feels more like a black hole than a ball and a chain

I start feeling detached and start praying for rain

Praying for someone to send me a sign

A hot cup of tea and a cold glass of wine

A hobo just died, froze to death on the train

With his hands clasped together while praying for rain

I could tell you a story but there's not much to tell

It was what it wasn't it was colder than hell

In a hand basket woven from the strings on my heart

There's a hole in my universe every time we're apart

If tomorrow gets lonely and it asks you to dance

Take a tip from this minstrel just hike up your pants

Watch the ice age evolve and imagine the pain

When I'm living without you and praying for rain

Praying for someone to send me a sign

A hot cup of tea and a cold glass of wine

A hobo just died, froze to death on the train

With his hands clasped together while praying for rain
