Alex McMurray

Everybody keeps on talking

Saying how it never could’ve been

Then I lie and say I’m glad that you’re gone

I can shed my skin

Still the days are getting better

The cops’ been leaving me alone

Still sometimes I fell a million years old

Since you’ve gone home

They never had our kind of love

They never listened for a train

They never had our kind of sun, our moon, our stars

They never had our kind of rain

It’s getting lonely bumming quarters

With you it all became a ballet

Still it ain’t no fun stealing for one

At the Circle-K

And when I go down to the river

I hear your laugh in the calliope

What a world of wonder under the wharves

Just you and me

Chorus

Our kind of rain don’t fall ‘round here

Our kind of rain don’t fall like tears

Our kind of rain don’t fall this side of yesterday

Or last year

And there ain’t nothing that’s surprising

You were too evil for the street

I used to think that you could jump off the moon

And land on your feet

And when you go down to Decatur

Have a sit down in the sun

Take a pull ‘cause spring is finally here

And you’re undone
