Correction:
I WISH IT WOULD RAIN (Nanci Griffith)
Oh I wish it would rain And wash my face clean I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here Oh love in a memory Sparkles like diamonds When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
Once I had a love from the Georgia pines Who only cared for me I want to find that love of twenty two Here at thirty three I've got a heart on my right And one on my left - neither suits my needs No the one I love lives a-way out west And he never will need me
Oh I wish it would rain Wash my face clean I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here Oh love in a memory Sparkles like diamonds When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears
I'm gonna pack up my two steppin' shoes And head for the Gulf Coast plains I wanna walk the streets of my own hometown Where everybody knows my name I wanna ride the waves down in Galveston When the hurricanes blow in 'Cos the Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine When your heart's rollin' home in the wind
Oh I wish it would rain And wash my face clean I want to find some dark cloud to hide in here Oh love in a memory Sparkles like diamonds When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears When the diamonds fall, darlin', they burn like tears
(Not many corrections. Chorus is ALL in the present tense, and it's "two-steppin' shoes because the two-step is a dance.)
