Melanie Safka / Rain dance

I'd like to give you one this time 

I'd really like to explain

But all I do is play my heart 

and soul out 

 

and do a dance for rain

I'd like to be clear but the words are old

First person songs 

about second hand roles

I'd like to play you one this time

I'd like to explain

But all I do is play my heart and soul out 

and do a dance for rain

 

Let it rain rain rain.. Let it rain

All I do is play my heart and soul out 

and do a dance for rain 

 

You know they looked at my heart 

and then they looked at my head

They pulled my worlds apart 

and they left them for dead

But I'd like to give you one this time 

I'd really like to explain

And all I do is play my heart 

and soul out and do a dance 

I do a dance for rain

 

So, let it rain rain rain.. Let it rain

All I do is play this heart and soul out 

and do a dance for rain 

 

I'd like to give you one this time 

I'd really like to explain

But all I do is play my heart and 

soul out and do a dance for rain 

 

Oh, let it rain rain rain.. Let it rain

All I do is play my heart 

and soul out and do a dance 

I do a dance for rain 

 

Let it let it rain let it rain 

let it rain let it rain

All I do is play this heart and soul out 

and do a dance for rain 

 

Let it rain Let it rain, let it rain

Let it rain, oh..

 

As the air has wind and wine in it,

Thick with it,

And the path filled with moss

and mushrooms

How am I to remember the way

Except to follow the breezes

Soused and simmered 

with afterdinner drink

Wake me up for the mint.
