Watchin' It Rain
Eternal Rain of Heartbreak: Bill Anderson's Melancholic Serenade
Lyrics
I been sittin' up all night long
I have been staying awake all night.
Watchin' it rain
Observing the rain.
Tryin' to get a handle on something
Attempting to understand something.
I can't explain
Something that defies explanation.
She was always afraid of flying
She used to fear flying.
Till she left on the evening plane
Until she departed on the evening flight.
Now I'm sittin' up all night long
Now, I'm staying awake all night.
Watchin' it rain
Continuing to observe the rain.
There's a honky tonk down the street
There's a bar nearby playing blues music.
Where they're playin' the blues
Consideration of joining the blues scene.
Maybe I oughta be there with 'em
Contemplating singing the blues.
Singin' 'em too
Various possibilities, but likely facing distress.
I could go lots of places
Options to go different places.
But I'll probably just go insane
Opting to endure potential madness.
Sittin' up all night long
Staying awake all night.
Watchin' it rain
Continuing to observe the rain.
Watchin' it rain
Observing the rain falling on personal celebrations.
On my parade
Reflecting on the impact of rain on joy.
I thought we'd last forever
Believed the relationship would endure.
But Lord how things do change
Realization of significant changes.
Just when you think there ain't a cloud in the sky
Just when everything seems perfect.
Along comes a hurricane
Unexpected challenges arise, likened to a hurricane.
And you're sittin' up all night long
Staying awake all night due to the impact.
Watchin' it rain
Continuing to observe the rain.
My teardrops
Comparing teardrops to falling rain.
Must be kin to the falling rain
They share a common descent.
Cause they trickle on down together
Both stream down to the window's bottom.
To the bottom of the pane
Temporary emotional turmoil.
I'll be fine by morning
Expecting recovery by morning.
But come sundown again
Yet facing emotional challenges again at sundown.
I'll be sittin' up all night long
Staying awake all night once more.
Watchin' it rain
Continuing to observe the rain.
Watchin' it rain
Observing the rain on personal celebrations.
On my parade
Reflecting on the impact of rain on joy.
I thought we'd last forever
Believed the relationship would endure.
But Lord how things do change
Realization of significant changes.
Just when you think there ain't a cloud in the sky
Just when everything seems perfect.
Along comes a hurricane
Unexpected challenges arise, likened to a hurricane.
And you're sittin' up all night long
Staying awake all night due to the impact.
Watchin' it rain
Continuing to observe the rain.
