Текст песни: Hard Rain Coming Down + перевод

Hard rain coming down on me

Trying to start a fire on the muddy banks

Of the Mississippi, in the rain

Baby life is strange

Now he reaches for a quarter

And he stands in the corner

And he screams out for some change.

And nobody looks, but everybody sees

And everybody feels the shame.

And the rain rolls over,

And the dog rolls over,

And he rolls his hands to the sky.

And the nuns in numbers knock their nails in

Like a blackbird in a blackberry pie.

Says, 'Son, it happens every day.

We call it running from the rain.'

Well, it’s a rain of thunder,

It’s a rain of fear,

It’s a busted-open bottle of Rainier beer,

It reaches from the sky

Like a blackbird in a blackberry pie, that’s why

And everybody is runnin'

And umbrellas are poppin'

And reflections take over the streets

And the blood is free now

And it flows to the sea now

And the man says, 'I'll see him again.'

Said, 'Son, it happens every day.

We call it running from the rain.'

Well, she turned her back

As he spackles the crack

And the pain just peals away.

And she thought she knew him

But an Autumn leaf blew in

And it blew what she knew of him away.

And she’s countin' numbers

But she lost the light

So now she thaws out cubed steak

With a red flashlight

Heads turning like a doorknob,

Eyes burning like a camp log,

What do you think of that?

Said, 'Son, it happens every day.

We call it running from the rain.'

She’s gone for good,

You should know by now.

She ain’t coming back anyhow.

And a love to her

Is a love that’s thrown away
