Robert Hunter - Keys to the Rain lyrics
Hammer and ripsaw, the waves keep a-risin' Step up and tell us the name of your poison I took a step forward, fell out of my hat At the sign in the window saying "Take What You Lack" I went to inquire just about how much pain Was needed to purchase the keys to the rain I mean, who do you think is gonna believe it When you tell them you got the keys to the rain? Sweet Mary was walking her dogs in the fire Singing some tune called "My Hope And Desire" Her tears were like needles that hung on a chain She didn't ask nothing except more of the same Her blue eye was scarlet, her blind eye was fame She wore a tattoo that read "Lock Up The Rain" But I mean, who do you ever get to believe it When you tell them you got the keys to the rain? Yo no soy marinero, por tu sere (note 1) Por tu sere, por tu sere Para bailar a La Bamba Se necesita un poco de gracia The prodigal son steals off in the night He done it before and it worked out all right He took a wrong turning, wound up in a ditch He could have done worse, though, and ended up rich His songs were cut open and found to be clay The hope of the future served up on a tray I mean, who do you think is gonna believe it When you tell them you got the keys to the rain? You caught me and held me and called me your own Then kicked in my teeth and left with my bone Now I know you ain't little, but I ain't that small And you had surprise on your side, after all So I'm making a wish, I never done that before This is the first time and I hope there ain't more But just who do you think is gonna believe it When you tell them you got the keys to the rain The just and the crippled both push up the flowers And nothing remains but the song of the hours I hope you can dig it I know that you will But please don't run hide when I come with my bill And before you get trying this noose on for size It's so quick to fall, yes, and so slow to rise And who do you think you'll get to believe you When you tell them you got the keys to the rain? Yeah, who do you think you're gonna get to believe it When you tell them you got the keys to the rain? |
