Wind And Rain
by: BluestoneIt was 2am when I hit town again
And I jumped off the big freight train
As quiet as a mouse
I went to Bony’s house
And I tapped on the window pane
She said come on in you look soaked through the skin
Get out of the wind and rain
She sat on her bed and she smiled and she said
It’s good to have you back again
Turn out the light make the most of the night
I’m only here til morning
Then I must go from the fire light glow
The wind and the rain are calling
Bony wept tears of joy for her long lost boy
Down on her bending knee
I was tempted to stay
But the very next day
I knew it could never be
So I got up slow said I really gotta go
Going back to the wind and rain
But Bony sleep light some cold rainy night
You know I’m coming back again
Turn out the light make the most of the night
I’m only here til morning
Then I must go from the fire light glow
The wind and the rain are calling
Turn out the light make the most of the night
I’m only here til morning
Then I must go from the fire light glow
The wind and the rain are calling
Turn out the light make the most of the night
I’m only here til morning
Then I must go from the fire light glow
The wind and the rain are calling
Turn out the light make the most of the night
I’m only here til morning
Then I must go from the fire light glow
