The winter of evening and the summer of dawn When I looked in the mirror they were gone Is it any wonder when I wanted to laugh Every smile was broken in half All I ever needed Was a ticket for the rain And when the sky began to fall It washed away the pain Right away I understood How things were not the same Cause all I ever needed Was a ticket for the rain You covered me with blankets And coveted my frame Conjured up excuses to reflect the blame Incense burned into dust No time left to rehearse All the anger served to fuel the lust All I ever needed Was a ticket for the rain And when the sky began to fall It washed away the pain Right away I understood How things were not the same Cause all I ever needed Was a ticket for the rain I lie awake in wonder as the silence fades Everything I ever knew I came to know again Everything I hate in you I embody now It's gonna take another lifetime To work it out somehow You said the world won't wait for me But I believed it would And flew away to find the painted bird I honed my family history my persecution rights Every minor chord struck in the night All I ever needed Was a ticket for the rain And when the sky began to fall It washed away the pain Right away I understood How things were not the same All I ever needed Was a ticket for the rain |
