I've seen the rain pouring down. The sky was grey with a speck of blue.
Deep through a hole in the clouds, the sun was screaming' hey you.
As you ramble through your sorrow, seems like everything come out wrong.
I'm living in yesterday's tomorrow's, I know something's helping me along.
(RIFF 2)
Forgot it for now - I'll post it later
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it.
I'll take a simple C to G and feel brand new about it.
I understand why the old mission men sail along, sail along, sail along.
Someday he'll be gone
(RIFF 1)
I hear you talking' 'bout your troubles. Everybody's got their troubles
too.
You can make them burst like clouds, if you know just what to do.
You know I've been called a dreamer. Dreams that never will come true.
But I've been called so many things before. Tell you what I'm gonna do.
(RIFF 2)
I'll take a melody and see what I can do about it.
I'll take a simple C to G and feel brand new about it.
I understand why the old mission men sail along, sail along, sail along.
Someday he'll be gone
