Looks like rain

I woke today... And felt your side of bed The covers were still warm where you'd been layin'. You were gone... My heart was filled with dread. You might not be sleepin' here again
[Chorus:] It's alright, 'cause I love you. And that's not gonna change. Run me round, make me hurt again and again. But I'll still sing you love songs Written in the letters of your name. And brave the storm to come, For it surely looks like rain.
Did you ever waken to the sound Of street cats makin' love And guess from their cries You were listenin' to a fight? Well, you know... Hate's just the last thing they're thinkin' of. They're only trying to make it through the night.
[Chorus:]
I only want to hold you. I don't want to tie you down. Or fence you in the lines I might have drawn. It's just that I've gotten used to Havin' you around. My landscape would be empty If you were gone.
[Rain, rain, go away...]

Beautiful song. As of late I'm been simply ADDICTED to...
On the day when I was born Daddy sat down and cried. I had the mark just as plain as day; which could not be denied. They say that Cain caught Abel rollin' loaded dice; Ace of Spades behind his ear and him not thinkin' twice.
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way.
If all you got to live for is what you left behind, Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine. Lost my boots in transit, baby, pile of smokin' leather. I nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather.
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way.
They say that when your ship comes in, the first man takes the sails; What's the point of callin' shots; this cue ain't straight in line. Cue ball's made of styrofoam and no one's got the time.
Halfstep, Mississippi uptown toodeloo Hello, baby, I'm gone, goodbye Half a cup of Rock and Rye. Farewell to you old Southern skies I'm on my way, on my way.
Across the Rio Grandeeo, Across the lazy river.

yes mississippi half step todeloo blues rocks
i love this one the music and words flow perfectly
Help on the way
Paradise waits on the crest of a wave her angels in flame She has no pain Like a child, she is pure She is not to blame
Poised for flight Wings spread bright Spring from night into the sun Don't stop to run She can fly like a lie She cannot be outdone
Tell me the cost I can pay Let me go Tell me love is not lost Sell everything Without love, day to day, insanity is king
I will pay day by day anyway Lock, bolt and key Crippled but free I was blind all the time I was learning to see
Help on the way I know only this I've got you today Don't fly away 'cause I love what I love and I want it that way
I will stay one more day Like I say Honey, it's you Without love in the dream It will never come true

Ah yes, Help on the way.
I've really been addicted to Saint Stephen and Brokedown Palace lately too, Brokedown Palace just has such a nice chorus.
"Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock, my soul."

black muddy river
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger And the hot sun chills me to the bone When I can't hear the song for the singer And I can't tell my pillow from a stone
I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain And the stars start to splatter in the sky When the moon splits the southwest horizon With the scream of an eagle on the fly
I will walk alone by the black muddy river And listen to the ripples as they moan I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own
Black muddy river Roll on forever I don't care how deep or wide If you got another side Roll muddy river Roll muddy river Black muddy river roll
When it seems like the night will last forever And there's nothing left to do but count the years When the strings of my heart start to sever And stones fall from my eyes instead of tears
I will walk alone by the black muddy river And dream me a dream of my own I will walk alone by the black muddy river And sing me a song of my own And sing me a song of my own
this is a great song too

I feel obligated to follow up Help on the Way with this:
"Slipknot!" By Robert Hunter Beautiful lie You can pray You can pay Till you're buried alive
Blackmailer blues Everyone in the room Owns a part of the noose Slipknot gig Slipknot gig Slipknot gig
Did someone say Help on the way Well, I know Yeah, I do That there's help on the way
These are some alleged Slipknot! lyrics (it's an instrumental) that were supposedly written for the Blues for Allah sessions. Check out the link with the info: http://arts.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/slip.html
