Rainy Day Lament
Joe Purdy Lyrics

Where do you go when your luck runs out
Asking where one goes when they are facing a string of unlucky events

And where do you go when you feel like cryin'
Asking where one goes when they feel like crying or being alone

Won't you come inside with me today
Inviting someone to come inside on a rainy day

Can't you see it's gonna rain
Pointing out that it's going to rain so it's better to be inside

How do you feel when the lights go out
Asking how one feels when they are in the dark

And how do you feel when there's no one there on the other end of the phone
Asking how one feels when they are lonely and have nobody to talk to

'cause I can see it's gonna rain
Re-emphasizing that it's going to rain and it's better to come inside

Gotta get my head together, yeah
Talking about the need to organize one's thoughts and think clearly

But it might be too late
Acknowledging that it may be too late to fix a problem

Cuz these demons in my head, they just won't wait
Referring to negative thoughts or emotions that won't go away

I feel just like a failure, well maybe I am
Expressing self-doubt and questioning one's own abilities

But I don't think I can
Admitting that one may not have the ability to do something

And all these things I'm feeling, maybe I don't wanna say
Acknowledging that there may be emotions that one doesn't want to share with others

Or maybe I'm not brave, well maybe I'm not brave
Questioning one's own courage

So come on over here, I don't wanna be alone
Asking someone to come over and spend time together

But if you're busy dear, I'll see you later on, yeah
Acknowledging that the person may be busy and suggesting a rain check
