The Call
Rainmaker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting for you down the road
But only few memories came
It's hard to choose a way in that confusion
'Cause all directions look the same
There're so many hard days I went through
So many nights I did not rest
But now I feel only a breeze can sweep me
And I could say I tried my best

Don't be sorry
Run and shout, lady
Last night you were kind of phony
Stay you way
Take it easy
Rise and shine, lady
Watch it move all around a new ground that
Set you free

Couldn't drag on the edge of the hill
Dark and suffocating air
Touching all the silver lined horizon
But I met vanity fair
There's always a fire inside me
Consuming the reason that i lost
Come back home on stretched road
Fly away as a ghost

Don't be sorry
Run and shout, lady
Last night you were kind of phony
Stay you way
Take it easy
Rise and shine, lady
Watch it move all around a new ground that
Set you free

Oh my
Can't you see this world is insane?
It's up to me
There's no one else I can blame

Don't be sorry
Run and shout, lady
Last night you were kind of phony
Stay you way
Take it easy
Rise and shine, lady




Watch it move all around a new ground that
Set you free

“I’ve been waiting for you down the road

There’s so many hard days I went through

And I could say I tried my best

[Chorus]
Don’t be sorry, run and shout, lady
Last night you were kind of phony
Stay your way
Take it easy, rise and shine, lady
Watch it move all around
A new ground that set you free

Couldn’t drag on the edge of the hill
Dark and suffocating air
Touching all the silver lined horizon
But I met vanity fair

There’s always a fire inside me
