lyrics

And the rain came down
On the south side of town
Joe stood alone in his doorway
Well his lucks been bad
Every chance been had
You could see it ending now somehow in a bad way

Mary from the bedroom said
'Come on Joe, come back to bed
I'm Lonely'

Took another drink from his empty glass
He watched the sands of time fall past
Is there more to this than this? I wonder
Only struggle and only pain
I've seen more drops than a month of rain
At the back of his brain Joe heard thunder

Mary from the bedroom said
'Come on Joe, come back to bed
I hunger'

And the rain came down
And the pain came down
And the rain came down

He heard the whip and he felt the lash
He watched the fall of his cigarette ash
Saw it curl in the wind and die down in the water
I could step and I could fall
Take my pain and end it all
I am the lamb, the blade and the slaughter

Mary from the bedroom said
'Come on Joe, come back to bed
I want a daughter'

And the rain came down
And the pain came down
And the rain came down

And the rain came down
On the south side of town
Mary walks alone through the hallway
Well her backs in pain
As she watches the rain
With her hand on her hip in the doorway

And the rain came down
And the pain came down
And the rain came down
And the pain came down
And the rain came down
And the pain came down
