I don't care! I don't care! It's been an awful long time since I been home, But you won't catch me goin' back down there alone. Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung. They came and took my dad away to serve some time, But it

Waiting for the summer I'm standing by the corner The place we used to meet Right there where I told you You're running off with me We dreamed about the water Or sitting by a stream We were young and in love We took a train, right after sunset

Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm It's been comin' for some time When it's over, so they say It'll rain a sunny day Shinin' down like water I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?

She's my kind of rain Like love from a drunken sky Confetti falling down all night Like love in a drunken sky She's confetti falling down all night She sits quietly there Black water in a jar Says baby why you trembling like you are

Do do do do Come on the risin' wind, We're goin' up around the bend There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' Just as fast as my feet can fly Come away, come away if you're goin' Leave the sinkin' ship behind

If it's the last night it oughta be left for lovin', girl I don't know if you'll understand But I'm hoping that you'll follow me down to the waterway I'll be there if you change your mind Listening to the ticking of the hands on a clock working overtime

I only call when I'm alone Touch me in the morning I'll tell you while you're moaning, baby There's something in this water So drink it 'til you're falling for me Touch me in the

It's coming, brace myself A notion of what's to be, there's no escape Drifting alone upon the dragon ship Eerily still, no winds that tear or whip Silence deafens, the sea is mirror calm Blood runs like the water from my palm I'm standing by myself
