You've got a blessing and a curse You've got a sickness growing worse You need a magic wand And a dream you can rely on You've got scars on your back You're like an animal caught in a trap You've got a pocket full of sand And a trembling hand And no one can understand Well sometimes I just wish it would rain Sometimes I just wish it would rain Rain on you and me Rain all over the dry dry ground Rain all over the sad sad souls That surround you and me You're a soldier who can't come home And a mother looking out the window Waiting for you to walk through the door You feel blind at the carnival Stumbling like a criminal With nothing but a bottle And an old baby rattle in your hand Well sometimes I just wish it would rain Sometimes I just wish it would rain Rain on you and me Rain all over the dry dry ground Rain all over the sad sad souls That surround you and me Rain take a way the sadness Take away the madness Can you wash us clean? Can you wash us clean? Clean Clean Clean You're a small voice on the phone Coming from somewhere I don't know Say, man, I don't think I can keep going on Well sometimes I just wish it would rain Sometimes I just wish it would rain Rain on you and me Rain all over the dry dry ground Rain all over the sad sad souls That surround you and me You and me You and me You and me You and me
