Sean Henry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, when it's gray (I like it better anyway)
Sweet lovely day (would you come out and say)
Hi in the doorway (I really oughta get away)
On the edge of town (can't wait to watch the sky when it comes down)

Rain cloud, rain cloud, rain cloud sitting on a
Rain cloud, rain cloud, rain cloud sitting on a
I found bones in the backyard, singing

Rain, rain, come to me, come to me today
Rain, rain, come to me, come to me today
Rain, rain, come to me, come to me today
Rain, rain, come to me, come to me today

Old country road
Let's see how fast we can go

Rain cloud, rain cloud, rain cloud hoping for a
Rain cloud, rain cloud, rain cloud hoping for a
I found bones in the backyard, singing

Rain, rain, come to me, come to me today
Rain, rain, come to me, come to me today
Rain, rain, come to me, come to me today
Rain, rain, come to me, come to me today

Rain, rain, rain

Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain
