Rainy Day, Dream Away
Jimi Hendrix · Other Songs - Jimi Hendrix
Hey man, take a look out the window
and see what's happening
Hey man, it's rainin', it's rainin' outside, man
Oh, don't worry about that, brother
Everything's gonna be everything
We'll get into something real nice, you know
Why don't ya sit back and groove on a rainy day
Sniff, yeah
Sniff
Yea, I see what you mean, brother
Maybe I can groove
Rainy day, dream away
Let the sun take a holiday
Flowers bathe, and uh
See the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
Well, I can see a bunch of wet preachers,
Look at 'em on the run
The carnival traffic noise, it sinks,,
Into the splashy hum
Even the ducks can groove
Rain burdened in a park-side pool
And I'm leanin' out my windowsill, diggin' everything
And uh, you too
Rainy day, rain all day
Ain't no use in gettin' uptight
Just let it groove its own way
Let it rain your worries away
Lay back and groove on a rainy day
Lay back and dream on a rainy day
Rainy Day, Dream Away
