Something for a Rainy Day

Brenda Lee · New Sunrise [MCA] [1974]

(Rolan McCown)



I'm just a penny that fell from a hole in your pocket

And clattered to the gutter at your feet

I'm like a puppet on a broken string

Who lies completely helpless in a heap.



Just a hopeful heart standing in line

Hoping you might need me sometime

If you do you might call my name

But from now on I guess I'll always be that something

You saved for a rainy day that never came.



'Cause you've got sunshine

And fields of clover

But I feel so useless

Now that it's over.



You never said you'd leave me or that you didn't love me

And I guess you're gonna keep me on a string

So from now on I guess I'll always be that something

You saved for a rainy day that never came...
