Utah Phillips If I Could Be The Rain
Sometimes I wonder how the simple rain can weep
Or why the winds a lonely child that cries itself to sleep
Ive envied all the sunlight, the amber of its smile
And wished it could be borrowed for a while
If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea;
If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me;
If I could be the sunlight, and all the days were mine
I would find some special place to shine
But all the rain I'll ever be is locked up in my eyes
When I hear the wind it only whispers sad goodbyes
If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again;
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain
If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea;
If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me;
If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again;
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain
