Song

  • Rain

    Here I am, on the lam
    Ready to go
    Brighter days have hurried me along
    Nobody's wrong

    Love stays the same
    A heart's not to blame
    Nothing is over
    Now it don't worry me at all
    There's just got to be some kind of overflow
    Nobody falls

    People, we cry, when wells go dry
    It threatens tomorrow
    Try to find some ways to ease the fright
    Burn into the night

    But maybe a little rain would soothe the pain
    And drown our sorrows
    Looking straight at all that lives again
    Until we get our fill of overflows
    Nobody knows

    In search of love, the seasons above
    Have taken to wander
    Unlike the ones we used to know
    Where did they go?

    Well, here I am, on the lam
    Low overflow
    Brighter days have hurried me along

    Recorded by the Jerry Garcia Band but seemingly never performed live. Not to be confused with the Beatles song which was played by the Grateful Dead in the 1990s.

Here I am, on the lam
Ready to go
Brighter days have hurried me along
Nobody's wrong

Love stays the same
A heart's not to blame
Nothing is over
Now it don't worry me at all
There's just got to be some kind of overflow
Nobody falls

People, we cry, when wells go dry
It threatens tomorrow
Try to find some ways to ease the fright
Burn into the night

But maybe a little rain would soothe the pain
And drown our sorrows
Looking straight at all that lives again
Until we get our fill of overflows
Nobody knows

In search of love, the seasons above
Have taken to wander
Unlike the ones we used to know
Where did they go?

Well, here I am, on the lam
Low overflow
Brighter days have hurried me along
