Comin' Down In The Rain

Flicked into the wind like the ashes of her cigarette
He got scattered and thin on the breeze as he tried to forget
He lost all his heat and his heart never will be the same
He got lighter than air but he'll only come down in the rain

He's strung out and hung out to dry flapping under the line
It's not such a dignified place but he really don't mind
He says with his feet on the ground he'd have nothing to gain
Claims he likes it up there but he'll only come down in the rain

Coming down in the rain
Washing out of the sky
Loaded down with that pain
There's just no way to fly
You can read him as clear as the wall where he once wrote his name
It was right next to hers but it'll only come down in the rain

Burning himself out on a limb like a leaf in the fall
He blazed for a while, now he's feeling all dried up and small
The color's all gone, disappeared near as quick as it came
He says he can stay up but he'll only come down in the rain

Coming down in the rain
Washing out of the sky
Loaded down with that pain
There's just no way to fly
You can read him as clear as the wall where he once wrote his name
It was right next to hers but it'll only come down in the rain

You can read him as clear as the wall where he once wrote his name
It was inside a heart that'll only come down in the rain
