Buckets of rain
Waterboys · Other Songs - Waterboys
Buckets of rain, buckets of tears
got all them buckets coming out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
you got all the love honey baby I can stand
I been meek
and hard like an oak
I seen pretty people disappear like smoke.
friends will arrive, friends will disappear,
If you want me, honey baby,
I'll be here
Like your smile
and your fingertips
Like the way that you move your lips.
I like the cool way you look at me,
Everything about you is bringing me
misery
Little red wagon
little red bike
I ain't no monkey but I know what I like.
I like the way you love me strong and slow,
I'm takin' you with me, honey baby
when I go
Life is sad
life is a bust
All you can do is do what you must.
you do what you must do and you do it well,
I do it for you, honey baby,
can't you tell?
