Cold Seattle Rain (Live) Lyrics

I've been sleeping rough, all my broken stuff

Jury rigged with tape and string

Got a starveling dog for a friend

Got a phone that doesn't ring

Castoff coat and worn-down boots

My knees are bone on bone

A makeshift roof above my head

A hovel for a home

After the rain came down on me

From out of nowhere

Beat upon my naked head

Put a shiver down my spine

Swept away everything I had

The love that kept me sane

Left me standing in the cold

The cold Seattle rain

The trees dripped in the foggy mist

Cars sprayed me as I stood

No one to blame but everyone

For this winter in the blood

A shout came down the alleyway

Hey mister, move away from there

A thousand faces without eyes

A thousand more that stared

After the rain came down on me

From out of nowhere

Beat upon my naked head

Put a shiver down my spine

Swept away everything I had

The love that kept me sane

Left me standing in the cold

The cold Seattle rain

There's only one thing left for me to do

There's only one way back to you

I had this dream late last night

A blanket in the sun

You and me lying side by side

Making plans for our days to come

After the rain came down on me

From out of nowhere

Beat upon my naked head

Put a shiver down my spine

Swept away everything I had

The love that kept me sane

Left me standing in the cold rain

Left me standing in that cold

Cold Seattle rain
