Someplace to Come When It Rains

(Shel Silverstein)



Lady, you see me with now and again in this dimly lit hideway place

With skin soft as velvet and warm reaching hands

And the sweet look of love on her face

And you say ain't he lucky just look at those eyes

She's worth any price you can name

And you think that she's mine but you don't realize

I'm just someplace to come when it rains.



Someplace to hide when she's tired of the ride

Just someone to soften the pain

Lord knows where she plays on her sunshiny days

I'm just someplace to come when she can't find the sun

Just someplace to come when it rains.



The lady she dances so light in my arms I swear she could float me away

And she gives me the feeling I'm safe from all harm

Just as long as she holds me that way

And I can't say she's wrong cause I've known all along

Her lovin' is well worth the pain

So wherever it leads I'll be there when she needs

Someplace to come when it rains.



Someplace to hide when she's tired of the ride

Just someone to soften the pain

Lord knows where she plays on her sunshiny days

I'm just someplace to come when she can't find the sun

Just someplace to come when it rains.



I'm just someplace to come when it rains...
