Blue Rodeo Rain On Me Lyrics

We never need forgiveness
Left home at 17
Raised up on hate
To a life that's second rate
I've seen that look before
Behind some closin door
Could be delivered,
Just won't be denied
Too much a child
Confident and wild
Nobody taught you how to live
What to keep and what to give
And now she talks to strangers
They bring her flowers for her hair
And every night you count on me
To peel you off the walls
Oh then you smile and watch me lose control

Chorus:
Rain on me
Oh rain down on me
Rain on me, yay
I used to think I knew
What I was waiting for
I don't think that anymore.

Didn't know what to bring you
Don't seem to need too much at all
No pearls and chains
And nobody's sad refrains
Every time I wonder why
I look back to the kindness in your eyes

Oh and now she talks to strangers
They bring her flowers for her hair
And every night you count on me
To get you out the door
Oh and then you smile and watch me lose control

Chorus

I used to think I knew
What I Was fighting for
I don't think that anymore....
