A Little Rain (A Song for Pete)

I was getting desperate

Yes, I was

Yes, I was

A couple bad days had turned into months, into months

I stumbled in

To St. Peter’s Cathedral

There I was

I’d never tried religion, but man I’d try anything once

You were smiling, wearing a t-shirt

From a rally in 1992

When the rain starts coming down

A little rain ain’t bringing me down

When the rain starts coming down

A little rain ain’t bringing me down

You said “Let’s meet in the morning

Get some sleep so you can clear your head”

The morning sun had the sidewalk scorching

So you knew the clouds would be rolling at 5:00 or 6:00, at 5:00 or 6:00pm

Now at the diner I started crying

Well Pete said, you got a friend in me

When the rain starts coming down

A little rain ain’t bringing me down

When the rain starts coming down

A little rain ain’t bringing me down

Now the chapters of your life might take you by surprise

And the last plot twist you never saw it coming

Don’t rush just take your time and know I’m by your side

And when you’re good, we’ll hit the ground running

Running, running

And when the rain starts coming down

A little rain ain’t bringing me-

When the rain starts coming down

A little rain ain’t bringing me down

When the rain starts coming down

A little rain ain’t bringing me down

I’m hung up on everything that I’m not

Pete said look around at everything that we got

Yeah, yeah
