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

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.

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...
