Subject: Nanci Griffith, Wish it would Rain... From: GUEST,Wavestar Date: 27 Feb 00 - 08:08 PM Does anyone know or have access to the complete lyrics of Nanci Griffith's song, I wish it would rain? ( I think that's the title..) I have these wonderful memories of sitting out under the cottonwoods in the Colorado night, in the middle of the foothills outside Buena Vista, listening to this song and watching friends of mine dancing... I've song the chorus to myself for years, but I'm getting impatient, and want all of it! Lyrics I know: And I wish it would rain, wash my face clean, gonna find some dark clouds to hide in, Oh love and memory sparkle like diamonds, When the diamonds fall, there's tears like rain. Those may be somewhat changed by my head and the time... Any help much appreciated! Cheers, -Jessica |

I WISH IT WOULD RAIN
Oh I wish it would rain
Once I had a love from the Georgia pines
Oh I wish it would rain
I'm gonna pack up my two step shoes
Oh I wish it would rain

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I Wish It Would Rain (Nanci Griffith) From: Jeri Date: 16 Aug 21 - 07:36 PM 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.) |
