If I Could Be the Rain
Utah Phillips

Sometimes I wonder how the simple rain can weep
Or why the winds a lonely child that cries itself to sleep
Ive envied all the sunlight, the amber of its smile
And wished it could be borrowed for a while

If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea;
If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me;
If I could be the sunlight, and all the days were mine
I would find some special place to shine

But all the rain I'll ever be is locked up in my eyes
When I hear the wind it only whispers sad goodbyes
If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again;
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain

If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea;
If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me;
If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again;
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain
